    Quälkot translates to torture shit, for those interested ;-)

    And Quellcode = source code.

    I was going to make a joke about pronouncing it wutuf but looking through the comments on the original posting, I see it's already been done.

    i'm glad that so far at least there is no 14e in that list.

    In my experience the term der Quelltext (the source text) is more common, although I would also understand Quellcode.

    This is actually not that bad. I think I'd rather have "table 1..31" and figure out myself what is in them rather than deal with their being misnamed. Additionally, if the original author was comfortable using those names, there's a good chance that there's some rhyme or reason to the scheme.

    There may be reason in those names, but there's absolutely no rhyme

    I suspect the real WTF is somewhere upstream of this. This is working with something nuts, not creating something nuts.
