        In nearly every style guide, even my own crazy one, variables are camelCase. I'm left to wonder how the shift key even got pressed.

          Yeah, and another sign is when you type this. to grab a property name that you are not sure what you named it and it is a few lines up, but off the screen :) Who wants to scroll that far ;)

                            No, just have tubes in you. You would also get have a tube in your mouth where you would suck your food and water mix. That way you don't even have to move for anything at all.

                                    Now, there's an idea! You'd have to be careful, though. You really wouldn't want to get the tubes confused... X|

                                      I do that only for private variables used by property accessors. :P

                                        Yeah, and another sign is when you type this. to grab a property name that you are not sure what you named it and it is a few lines up, but off the screen :) Who wants to scroll that far ;)

                                        Guilty as charged.... :) I use SharpDevelop alot at work, and I been using the "this." trick for a while... it's just so much easier than scrolling up, finding the name, scrolling down, type the full var name. It also saves a couple of extra keypresses by pressing return/tab when it hits the right option! :)
