Different languages have different orthographical traditions. IMHO a project should adopt the styles of the natural language it uses for comments (assuming that the project leader has mandated a language for comments). The Haskell standard libraries don't do this. There is also the question of whether a programming language should be adaptable to the natural language used in a project (e.g. spelling of keywords). I have tried to advocate that it should, several times in the past. But no-one has ever agreed with me on this. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
