That's a pretty asinine response to a point that is substantially correct. Insisting upon a set of rules for otherwise commonly understood words (an RFC defining "MUST") is usually a pedantic waste of time, and will actually reduce the quality of the finished product. No one is here to dispute the usefulness of approximately correct contemporary grammar. I would dispute the usefulness of insisting that design docs conform to APA style requirements or some other nonsense, unless there were very clear reasons for insisting on that level of uniformity (documentation for a pacemaker, for example).
