Abstract
One of the long running debates between programmers is whether camelCaseldentifiers are better than underscore_identifiers. This is ultimately a matter of programming language culture and personal taste, and to our best knowledge none of the camps has won the argument yet. It is our intuition that a solution exists which is superior to both the previous ones from the point of view of usability: the solution we name sentence case identifiers allows phrases as nams for program entities such as classes or methods. In this paper we propose a study in which to evaluate the impact of sentence case identifiers in practice.
