Why do people do this? Since Windows 95 we have been blessed with the ability to have long file names! Why don't people take advantage of it?
For example: What looks more attractive?
St2098Trn_Rec.doc
or
Store 2098 - Training Records.doc?
Why do people try to abreviate and use underscores? It is ridiculous!
I do understand that some web hosts do not allow long file names for html files. That should be the only exception!
Why do people abbreviate file names so much?
Some people have to be careful if they have a clusterf**k of equipment all networked together. If they have an old DOS machine running somewhere that is necessary for something (I know - it sounds retarted, but some people are stuck with some pretty screwy setups, and can't afford to upgrade them) then they will have to be careful with their file names since the DOS machine won't be able to recognize them, and will automatically truncate the file names (which can cause serious data loss problems).
The rest of the time it is just people being stupid.
Why do people abbreviate file names so much?
probabbly so that thell fiind files easier
