Naming rule: Case acronyms as words.

🚫 getURLParam
✅ getUrlParam

🚫 parseHTTPRequest
✅ parseHttpRequest

The second one is easier to read because it’s easier to see the words.

This is especially obvious with repeated acronyms:

🚫 parseRESTAPIURL
✅ parseRestApiUrl

Google’s JavaScript style guide agrees.
