In my opinion diluting existing, well-established terms is extremely dangerous and harmful for a project. If you're diluting established terms - like assert - you're kinda forcing readers to stop assuming anything about your names. If assert isn't assert, and if return values are also abused, why can I assume get is get, sort is sort and so on? Sort might check inputs, get might delete the customer account, who knows at this point. And that makes anything but a tiny code base pretty much unmanageable, or at least very very hard to learn.
