I do camel case with lowercase leading letters in my code. It's just how 
I name functions. Classes, objects, templates, etc get a leading capital 
letter, so do most instances of objects in C++.

Last group project class I was in, one teammate complained about it. He 
liked code written his way only, and since I was the debugger of the 
group he really didn't like my edits. He told me I could use any other 
convention I liked, but I was not to state with a leading lowercase 
without a reason. I offered to start with lowercase letters for 
Hungarian Notation. Very quickly, my normal method of naming was allowed 
to remain untouched.

It was sad that I had to explain why I was laughing and he was panicking 
to the third member of our group.
