Reminds me when I was working with a guy and he named a database table recieved . I had adapted my code to that, and then one day without warning he renamed it to received - and it took us an hour to figure out why everything broke.

    had a co-worker once who called the variable holding the first record in a complicated workflow "rec1st" and the last record "reclst", unaware that in every font used by every code editor except his, a lowercase l and number 1 look identical.

    i spent a day debugging that after he quit.
