Man... I can't ever make up my mind about this! But usually userId. Thing is, if I were to write it like userID, how would I write just ID then? All uppercase? That would indicate a class or something else...

I have fallen into the practice of only capitalizing the first letter of acronyms in camelcase.
userId
parsedJson
I think it preserves the flow of camelcase much better.

I should do “UserId” but I end up doing “UserID” because that is what my fingers know how to type.

I use userId. I'm very strict about it. Because this is one of those cases where you search for hours upon hours why userId is undefined.

userId

Because userIDGenerator just looks wrong and if it has another acronym after it, it becomes really hard to understand where the first ends and the second starts (eg. userIDDB).

I'll search for whatever the convention is in the project that I'm working on, and stick with it.

Project at the company would have it like Id. I hate that convention tho, so I'd say userID.

UserId, because is more clean in my point of view. But UserID (i don't know why) seems more correct.

@Frederick No, no, no, jAsE language would change commands names and create and destroy alias from time to time.

userId

It's easier to keep the rules than keep remembering exceptions.

Agree with @h4xx3r stick to one style, so `userId` it is.

user_id.
I have a habit using lowercase & underscore for variables.

If it's the first time in the project then userId, but if someone already wrote userID somewhere I would stick to that for consistency.

Check out the convention guidelines for the language. In C# its correct to write userId
