Question

When I’m programming, I often find myself writing functions that -should- (to be proper english) contain apostrophes (too bad C started everyone thinking that an apostrophe was an appropriate delimiter). For example: get_user's_group() -> get_users_group() . What do you guys do with that forced-bad-english ambiguous english? Just ignore the apostrophe? Create a different phrasing?

Answer 1

In that case, I would do get_group_for_user().

So, yes, I would “create a different phrasing” 🙂

Either that, or user.get_group().
