Ray,

Here is not same situation, In all publications or education there must 
be followed rules thats are called "Pravopis" and they are in some part 
very strict. As this is not my  field and I have trouble to talk about 
it on English, I hope you will understand at least some of this. Our 
language is very different from English as there are many rules (because 
many native English speakers have problem to learn our language). One 
example there are "Rodovi" which change construction of sentence, which 
in English is absent. This is based on ( Him, She, it).
