Why? Why is there such a strong desire for full sentences?

It's pedantic to me. I'm completly fine with terse incomplete sentences. They are not harder to understand. Plus I work with international teams. Terse is often easier to write and understand for non-native speakers.

I worked on an international team with non-native speakers and we found proper casing and punctuation easier to read.

OCD seems prevalent in programmers. For me full sentence comment / commit message requirements are the ultimate process for the sake of process. Such a bikeshedding waste of time. Such policies serve absolutely no objective purpose. They're only there to satisfy some leader's asthetic senses and feeling of control.

As for easier to read thousands of newspaper headlines and magazine article titles provide strong evidence otherwise. Even HN itself is proof it doesn't matter
