Talk:Inverted syntax

More meaningful name?

The current "Inverted syntax" doesn't mean much on its own. I don't have much of an alternative, but how about "Syntax/Trailing conditionals". --Paddy3118 05:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Or "Syntax/Statement modifiers" --Paddy3118 05:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

There is such a term as "inverted syntax", although in relation to programming, there are only a few people that use that term. I say the phrase is valid, of course,

Google for +"inverted syntax" +programming

It's not really question of validity. It's a question of popularity. For instance, we chose "Greatest common divisor" over "Greatest common factor" partly because gcd was created first here, but also because greatest common divisor feels like it's a little more common. In any case, this is what we have redirect pages for. Try to think of what "people" call it (or would call it), and set up redirects for other names. --Mwn3d 14:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
