I was replying directly to Marko. I don't think it is possible to establish a standard dialect for variable names in English or any other language. It doesn't even make sense as long as the code clearly communicates its intent. Any attempts at standardizing written language are just bound to failure due to natural cultural resistances, but also the way the spoken and written language evolve isn't going ever to agree with some official authority. As for your Thomas Merton quote, it didn't resonate with me. First I find it hilarious that a 20th century catholic monk speaks of people of faith as existing at the margin of society and accepting risk, particularly in the deeply conservative American society. That's a laugh right there. But the whole comunion thing, the going through God, and the accepting we are all one, is really not my flavor of morning tea. I'm a bit more down to earth and less heavenly oriented. We are all really different individuals, deeply separated by our own minds and sharing only a similar biology. That we can communicate at all, is rather satisfying. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
