Personally I rather _like_ seeing e.g. english spelling in code comments
etc. -- it reflects the author and adds some local flavor, and the
differences are so small that they do not affect readability (even for
non-native speakers).

Changing those things seems more like mindless pedantry and
obsessiveness than useful work.
