I think there's more acceptance that English is a language of consensus and not as prescriptive as children were taught in school in previous generations. For example people in the USA and UK can't agree if a comma is required between every and, or, and but.
This is a marked departure from 'proper' since it's very hard to say what is proper when the language is naturally evolving as it's used in different spaces like text messages, websites and etcetera.
So long as the text is a) Understandable and b) presentable; the actual grammar rules are up to the writer to a large degree.
(the docs team might have different rules, but while I'm currently acting web master, these are my thoughts on website content)
