Agree, but due to my mild OCD, I still keep using Get to pair with Set :)

  I also feel that mild nagging feeling, but it passes quickly. The brevity is worth it. :-)

  Another reason I've heard for avoiding getFoo() is that on certain typefaces the lower-case "g" and "s" look similar enough that folks with bad vision can confuse them[1]. Thus foo() and setFoo() are clearer than getFoo() and setFoo(). [1] Given enough time in front of a monitor, we all get bad vision eventually ;-)

    That's easily solved by just not using typefaces that you can't read in your editor.
