How about going back to Ada 83. Whose daft idea was it to copy the LRM
and start WRITING_STUFF_LIKE_THIS. I find pages and pages of
identifiers in upper case, interspersed with the odd lower case
keyword rather difficult to read. What I find most annoying though, is
being _told_ to write my code LIKE_THAT by bloody Germans!

But then again, why do some people think "gotten" is part of the
English language:-)

Glad I've got (or is it gotten) that off my chest.
