There are some great practical arguments (previously mentioned) for picking a language for the source code and sticking with it.
But it's also a perfectly valid argument that people -- many of us -- are bothered by writing that doesn't follow rules, such as by switching from one language to another randomly. We don't have to explain why it bothers us; it's an emotional thing. That's why all serious publications have detailed style guidelines that include things such as which of various spellings of a word are used.
