Man, that's just being petty.

...and for the record (many people would do well to remember this), there is
no "correct" convention for anything. All that matters is (1) You're
consistent and (2) you effectively communicate the information. The RIGHT
way (whether its naming conventions, development methodologies or
application frameworks/architectures) is the way that lets you effectively
fulfill the client's needs.
