I prefer descriptive variable and function names - like comments, they help to make code so much easier to read.
One thing I wonder though... why do people prefer 'some_function_name()' over 'SomeFunctionName()'? I personally don't like the underscore character - it's an odd character to type when you're trying to get the name typed in, and the shifted character, I find, is easier to input.
Cheers!

Some people still seem to be living in the age of K&R C, with 6 or 7
character variable names that demand some explanation. Maybe some day
they will awake to the expressive power of long (and well chosen) names.
