I think we're pretty evenly split between "c" and "u". I prefer "c" because
it is, after all, a custom property. Those who migrated from SuperCard
often prefer "u" because over there, I believe, they are called user
properties.
Richard's guide is pretty good and I follow the other conventions but I
can't get used to writing a "u" for something that starts with a "c".
Apparently the team feels the same.

Ah, it was u not c thats right. Thanks richard, that and "extending the
message path" stuff helped me get my grok on. I think I saw c being used
for custom properties somewhere else and it stuck for some reason.

"You can quickly identify whether a variable is local or global, or whether
it was passed in as an argument, if you preceed the descriptive name with a
lower-case letter to determine its type."
