Code conventions do not follow English syntax rules or definitions. For the sake of mental consistency, don't even think of them as "words".

I don't see why you'd have a problem with camel-case code, but you voice no problem with the lack of spacing, that "r_" isn't part of English language syntax, or that the commands aren't syntatically legal English phrases anyway.
