If you are talking about parameters notation (i did not see exactly 
what is strange) here are some info:
I believe it is useful to prefix variables names in order to give info 
about them.
- members variable are prefixed m_ (like m_Color): a good idea from 
wxWidgets team ("m_" like member)
- functions arguments are prefixed a (like aColor): a good idea from 
Dick ("a" like argument)
- global variables are prefixed g_ and local (not global) variables by 
s_ (fg_ and s_ like global and static) . This is my idea (I hope it is 
good).
- Variables locales to a function are not prefixed.

So variables used in a function can be clearly identified.

I never call ideas from others guys "strange".
I try to understand these ideas:
If i believe this is a good idea, i use it, and if i believe this is a 
bad one, i forget it.
