    I just noticed a variable I had created at some point was later refactored by somebody else from "entity" to "entty". When spoken, they both sound about the same... perhaps somebody was trying to shorten variable names? :doh:

      He could could have further shorten it by using anti. Fairly similar sounds unless you pronounce it like ant-i.

        "ntty" would have been even shorter and still sound about the same :cool:. Soren Madsen

            But that'll speed it up, won't it? ;) You use smaller fonts to make the application EXE smaller...

            If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

                    Why not just ntt? If you spell it out (which is what I assume you should do if there are no vowels :doh: ) its en-tee-tee... Sounds about right to me ;P

                      Yes, Freak30 also pointed that out above. I am ashamed to admit, I just did not see it :sigh: . Soren Madsen

                        The fastest code to execute is code that doesn't exist.
