Yes :-)  
(I'm native English, but in Germany).
I also believe shorter sentences work better (in either language).

Easy to forget though, as local societies condition us to use more
complex grammar for written than verbal communication. Those with
the most complex articulation mostly win top professional status / income.

Yes, except eg "NEED =" as a Makefile key word would be too short,
with false matches with find & grep,  "RUN_DEPENDS" & "BUILD_DEPENDS" OK.
"REQUISITE" some natives would mis-spell.

Cheers,
Julian
