I think that JavaScript has more need of this notation than other languages, precisely because of the weak typing. However, those who try and use the same notation rules for say Java as for JavaScript are going to have trouble. I find objNAME arrNAME etc useful, and things like txtNAME and slctNAME when dealing with the DOM I do not generally use intNAME or fltNAME unless there is a very good reason.
