That rules of thumb is arbitrary attempt to make code more like fancy English. Why is "connection" OK but "connecter" bad?

- SilasX 14y agoIt's not the name per se that is the problem; the point is that an "-er" class is indicative that you're actually using a procedural rather than OO paradigm, and thus attempting to arbitrarily box up a bunch of actions into an object. Neither connection nor connector would be good, under this view, if it's just a thin package around an imperative program ("COBOL written in Java").
