Questions seems to be getting plenty of responses, however there are
fewer questions.  One factor would be when schools get a summer
recess.

One of the great annoyances in programming derives from the irregularity
of English spelling especially when you have international teams.  
I want to find a method or variable, but I don't know precisely
how its is spelled or worded. English is only approximately phonetic.  
Letters are randomly doubled.  The dictionary often lists variant spellings.
British, Canadian and American spellings differ.I would like to see an 
experiment where variable names were spelled in a simplified English, where 
there were no double letters.I also think you could add a number of rules 
about composing variable names so that a variable name for something would
be highly predictable. You would also need automated enforcement of the 
rules as well as possible.
