Reserved Keyword

[shapper]

Hello,

I am using a reserved keyword on my application: event. So I get the
error:
Identifier expected; 'event' is a keyword

This is for a Events project so event seems a normal word to use in
it.
I think I can use @even for example in:

void Create(Event @event);

Should I try to change the name or is it ok to just add the @ before
the name?

Thank You,
Miguel

Change the name.

The English language has a big vocabulary - you should be
able to find a name that is not a keyword and is still
descriptive.

The parties project would be alliterative and sounds a lot more fun.

Especially for a method called "Create" I would consider naming the
parameter "newEvent" would be very appropriarte.
