Sure.
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.
