    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 ;)

                  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.

                      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.

                                  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! :)

                                      I've done that more than once. I always go back and take out the "this." just in case someone else has to review my code.

                                        ...you type a variable name in Visual Studio's editor, accidentally capitalise the first two letters, and continue on, waiting for the auto-corrector to kick in and fix the mistake. :doh:

                                        Chris, I ALWAYS don't use the shift key. If the IDE corrects it, I know I got the name right!

                                          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! :)

                                          What about of pressing control + space ? :)
