Underscores

How often do you use them? What do you know about them? when you see them what do you think?

Sometimes I still use them when I save a file because I'm old and we didn't used to have spaces in filenames and it's habit.

When I want to separate something from another....thing. The best example is when I will tell a story and say something like: The story is below:

_________________________________

Mary had a little lamb and her jerkhole was as white as snow.

;____________;

Mostly.

occasionally when programming but i'm more likely to camelCase when it comes to variable names.

otherwise I don't use them much.

and really, I don't feel anything when i see them. unlike ampersands, which are lovely &&&

____DOES THIS COUNT?____

Computery stuff, similar to what others have already mentioned, including programming and file names.

I find underscores to be distasteful besides the good use of splitting info up or creating headings.

It's use in usernames just looks unsightly in my opinion.

Underscores can go die a fiery death.

I use underscores to make facies, and to play fill in the blanks games.

I don't even use underscores as a part of smileys anymore. It reminds me too much of my ^____^;; using days. :barf:

As a developer, everyday ! smurf CamelCase ! CantReadQuicklyAndEfficientlyIfYouDoThis

I use them all the time for folder and file naming conventions. Also: Shiny_Griever
