"it's common to write do_foo_to_bar(). In other words, verb, object, subject"

I suppose it's pointless to note that this is really [implicit subject], verb, direct object, indirect object. In other words, normal English sentence order. As in
"What do you do?"
"[I] give food to trolls."

Anyhow, that's a strange definition of "coding style".
