There are over 15 million other Hungarians than Simonyi This seems slightly logically inconsistent. If Simonyi is Hungarian, then there is a valid connection between Simonyi's invention and Hungarians. I don't think anyone of any reasonable intelligence capable of reading these articles therefore relates any negative aspects in his invention to Hungarians in general though! > > 2.) The Hungarian notation has _nothing_ to do with the Hungarian language. And then there's Reverse Polish Notation too; which is a generally well-respected, if also oddly named, technique. Who was making fun of Hungarians?? Everyone reading these groups understands what is meant by "Hungarian notation"; at most the previous poster was merely guilty of omitting the word "notation" in a few places, where it was already implictly assumed anyhow. As someone who has a fair dislike for overuse of Hungarian notation style, it does not really lead me to feel any kind of negativity toward Hungarians in general, and even that particular post did not make me feel any kind of negativity toward Hungarians in general, and I doubt anyone else thinks there is any kind of slur on Hungarians, except for some overly-sensitive Hungarians! :-O) > > BTW I am yet to see any Hungarian who likes Hungarian notation.

People should be entitled to speak their minds without fear of possibly offending someone somewhere with the slightest nuance of their speech. Did you ever hear the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? Can't we all just get along? :-D hys -- (c) 2003 Hillel Y.
