Technical writers could learn from this man

Try to maintain a consistent naming style. For example, capitalize nonstandard library user-defined types and start nontypes with a lowercase letter (for example, Shape and current_token). Also, use all capitals for macros (if you must use macros; for example HACK) and user underscores to separate words in an identifier.

hahaha.

This is why I love reading Stroustrup, he doesn't get so technical your eyes start to bleed. He brings a certain humour and lightheartedness to his writing that makes it almost enjoyable, which makes it easier to stick with and actually get something out of it.
