I suppose that one advantage of notation is that it isn't language specific, but I don't know how much of an issue that actually is. If you're non English speaking and trying to read a paper written in English, you're going to need to be able to understand the word "cast" in the text, so it probably doesn't matter if you use the same word in the notation.
