So have I (30 years actually, ah I can see retirement from here...). 
And I have had training and/or self-taught in over 15 languages. Shrug, 
so what.

However I religiously use the conventions of the language I am writing 
in. Amongst other things it allows future maintenance programmers to 
read the code without needing to do mental gymnastics to convert code 
style before they can understand what the code is doing.

This is important if you ever work in a professional environment. Your 
code WILL be looked at by someone else sometime in the future.

The lone programmer (consultant or hired) writing obfuscated code to 
their own personal style/standards would not be tolerated in any of the 
companies I have worked for.
