But I don't mind either way. From an English standpoint {start,stop}_watching_system() does sound better, since in most cases in the grammar of that language the verb is expected to precede the object. However, since we don't write code in English sentences, I don't think it matters that much. Either way it's clear what the functions do. Regards, Rene
