Yeah, the most beautiful code is where all variables are just letters of the alphabet.

Keywords aren't variables

Ooh yeah, overall coding culture is definitely not affected by the preferred nomenclature for identifiers. The person who's habituated to fn over function will absolutely never name their functions in the vein of chkdsk. The two are completely disconnected in the brain of the programmer who read too much K&R in their childhood and was irretrievably traumatized by it for life.
