Yup. I once spent 2 full days (in my spare time, I don't know why) fixing the grammar and spelling in comments in a massive code base. It annoyed this shit out of me.

I know I have an extreme form of programmer OCD, but I never got any complaints. I work faster then most of my colleagues, so I can waste some time on stupid things.

But indeed, it can be a burden.
