I was reading this book to my 18 month old girl. It tells the tale of a hungry panda, which is given a banana by a monkey, aptly named "Monkey". Animal altruism aside - seems that capitalization conventions in coding are the exact opposite of English:<br>
Java: Monkey monkey ==> "Monkey" is a class, "monkey" is the instance<br>
English: Monkey is a monkey ==> "Monkey" is the specimen, "monkey" is the species.<br>
<br>
Any idea why? Do native speakers find this confusing when they learn coding?<br>
