Although it's bad naming, you can also have

No, _that_ is bad naming!

Agreed. Remember that selectors are written in a bare format, without the parameter variables named; for example:

@selector(print:)

A programmer looking at that selector, "print:", would at first glance assume that it takes a parameter "the object to be printed", so it's potentially misleading. You should always strive for clarity and if you look at Apple's method names in Cocoa you'll see that they often use longer selector names for the sake of clarity.
