This is the problem with getting attached to any particular convention.

If you review a lot of other people's code, you tend to learn how to look past
a lot of these conventions.

There also tends to be a standard naming convention for each language, and
that in fact is the best convention to use, even if you don't completely agree
with it. The reason is that this maximizes how your code can be reviewed and
maintained by others.
