Yes, that's completely fine! There's nothing wrong about a little variation. As long as your code conveys its intent, and you know exactly how to decipher it, you shouldn't really have to worry about "some dood" preaching about how a naming convention should be... unless you have to consider the other members of a team. In that case, it's probably best to follow their style guide over yours.

Thank you for the reply. I think it was my first experience reading legacy code with unorganized naming conventions that I had an intern at a certain company. I had to make a documentation, a lot of refactoring, and deleting dead code just to make sure that anyone understood it.

I can imagine the hell you had to go through, man. I 👏 applaud 👏 you for carrying on, though. That's a lot of work.
