    Just added this in my source code:

            try
            {
               {some important financial stuff retrieval...}
            }
            catch(SqlException sex) //I know...
            {
                Log.Error(sex.Message);
            }

    actually, there is sexual innuendo in a lot of coding, tech, etc. i.e. Dependency Injection, Master/Slave (and racist), mount an ISO, etc. had a discussion years ago with fellow colleagues that a lot of these terms were created by sex starved nerds. Part of me still feels this way. With all that said, the descriptions still have value in that they are factually descriptive to what they do or stand for, sadly in some instances.

        At the top of your code is the word "Shrink" and a direction arrow. I suspect the site is suggesting you should visit one ... :laugh:

        That makes two of us, because I have exactly the same abbreviation in my code. :laugh:

            a long time ago, I was developing a GUI for playback of radar data. To keep my life interesting, I had all sorts of comments that conveyed why I was limiting what the user was trying to design: if (gForces > MAX_Gs) { // simulation over, you killed the pilot } etc. I failed my code review on the grounds that I might offend the customer who might look at the source code. So, I gave up trying to be funny in my code.

              Many years ago, happily sharing code with a coworker, I'd have that S.exception in my code. He just said "no". I did not see it when I wrote it; any S, with exception leads there though. My mind is at coding when I write, not wether it is acceptable. My code ain't woke, just working.

                      In contrary what the name suggests, this was a verry cumbersome to use website.
