Sorry, my description for function and procedure names was upside down. It meant to write procedure names should be verbs and lowercase or camelCase and function names should be nouns and start with a capital letter.

This is a matter of naming conventions.

In Modula-2, there has been a silent consensus on *some* naming convention issues, but there is no standard naming convention. The consensus is generally that variables, field names and parameters should either be all-lowercase or at least start with a lowercase character, i.e. camelCase. There is also generally consensus that function names should be verbs and lowercase or camelCase and procedure names should be nouns and start with a capital letter. For constants there is no consensus, in some naming conventions they start with a lowercase letter in others with a capital letter. And even where there is consensus, it is not always followed consequently.
