I used to work with a guy that would put the verb at the END of a function name, rather than the beginning.  For example, rather then "GetSupportedVersion", he'd use "SupportedVersionGet".  Of course, I know plenty of people here will say it should be "get_supported_version", but that's another discussion entirely.

Another guy would frequently use "Grab" instead of "Get".  The fact that he used a different verb than the common convention though wasn't NEARLY as infuriating as the fact that he was inconsistent about it.
