I don't think the choice is between pure English and what we have now. It's easy to just stick with the traditional notation(s) of every subject, but there could be some cases where an attempt to refactor some notations might be of benefit. I usually like to criticize the combined use of i and j. Their use in pseudocode for analyzing loops also just aids confusion. I've helped some people by telling them to go through examples and change one of the variables into something more readable, and then it clicks for them.
