Saxon Genitive in Naming Conventions?
naming, naming-conventions
Solution
I use the second. It sounds good to me. Think of "Task Priority" as a compound word like "vacuum cleaner".
Problem
What do you call your functions when names that contain a saxon genitive like "Verify Task's Priority" and "Change Argument's Priority" or "Increase Action's Delay"? Do you drop the apostrophe? `verifyTasksPriority(), changeArgumentsPriority(), increaseActionsDelay()` Do you drop both the apostrophe and the "s"? `verifyTaskPriority(), changeArgumentPriority(), increaseActionDelay()` Do you replace the saxon genitive with "of"? `verifyPriorityOfTask(), changePriorityOfArgument(), increaseDelayOfAction()`? I don't like the first option because it sounds like the function works on multiple things rather than just one thing. I don't like the second option because it doesn't sound natural. I don't like the third option because the word, of, in a function name just doesn't sound right. What option do you use?
