@TrevorD Well, I am not really using programming terms. I am using class and attribute names that refer to actual items in their business system. For example, I added filing date to the deed record. For some reason I was feeling the urge to write I added Filing Date to the Deed record because filingDate and Deed are an attribute and class in my code. The message would be short so I don't think I would want to add a header section with definitions as suggested by some below.

You're the one they have paid to translate between English & programming languages. But if you really, really must use programming terms, then define/explain them at the beginning so that they understand what these strange-looking camelCase words mean. This is a common-sense question, not an English language question! | |

changed to reflect that it is not documentation, which you would definitely not want to capitalize
