But all_lower_case_format isn't, and some claim it's easier for non-native
readers to read than stuffRammedTogetherLikeThis. I believe it, in part
because it's easier for this native reader to read: WordRamming doesn't
exist in real-life English. In SmallDoses such affectations can be helpful
to draw attention, and that's fine for class names, or Wiki page titles.
ButOveruseOf snyAffectation isWearying.
