The difference between native English speaker and English writer is that
writer usually does not mix up dye and die ;)

But afaik there is no such language as Englis, so first we would need to
agree on which of the many Englishes the docs will be in.

I guess they are currently in "International" English which is quite
free
about grammar, spelling and punctuation.

I would hate if we all started to write in some more rigid dialect.

I've heard that some of these even make you put the full stop at the end
of a
sentence before closing parenthesiss (like this.)

They claim it is for "typographical aesthetics" ;)
