Yes, please.

Willfully idiosyncratic orthography just is not helpful at all for
seamless communication.  Much less so in a group of mostly non-native
speakers with wildly varying English levels.

Michael, if you have to mutilate your English in mails, I cannot stop
you.  But things like commit messages and code comments need to be
understandable with a minimum of context by people with a very basic
grasp of English.  If you leave out punctuation marks, they will have
big trouble figuring out where your sentences begin and end and what you
were trying to say in the first place.  Misspelled words are harder to
recognize and look up in a dictionary.  The list goes on ...
