Spanish for "yes" is "sí", not "si".

  Pedantic is being the friendly, correcting cynic. Native Spanish speakers use si as si in texts and informal messages all the time. It's understood from context; I think.

    In the case in question, a programming language, we can assume a context-free grammar, and therefore the keyword equivalent for "if" would be "si" and the keyword for "yes" would be "sí".

    Some native Spanish speakers make abhorrent mistakes when using their language. That doesn’t make it okay.

      It's not hugely different from using i instead of I as the first-person singular pronoun in English which I wouldn't class as 'abhorrent' but rather 'very informal', which is fine so long as the actual language itself is preserved.
