And I have had training and/or self-taught in over 15 languages. Shrug, so what. However I religiously use the conventions of the language I am writing in. Amongst other things it allows future maintenance programmers to read the code without needing to do mental gymnastics to convert code style before they can understand what the code is doing. This is important if you ever work in a professional environment. Your code WILL be looked at by someone else sometime in the future. The lone programmer (consultant or hired) writing obfuscated code to their own personal style/standards would not be tolerated in any of the companies I have worked for. -- Wojtek :-)
