And as if that ain't bad enough, they have such SICK crap as tblSomething for an Access table. qSomething for a query...
I can understand lpszSomeString. Prevents regretable errors. But who's gon' assign a table to where a query is expected? It just took all the sanity out of HN, this over-use by Microsoft documentation. And the devs just pick up. Sad. I don't use any dumb notations, if I can avoid it.

Not really worth printing, but it is worth a read. I remember getting into an argument with a bunch of ASP/VB guys about the kind of bastardised Hungarian Notation they used (you know, prefixes like 'int', 'str', 'tbl', and the like). They just couldn't get it through their heads that whole point of (sensible) HN was to express semantic/logical types rather than physical types.
Never managed to convince them.
