The problem lies with the question 'What is the English language?'
Is it what we speak? write? what we find on the web? in what social context? Given some constraints, then perhaps yes, you could write a formal grammar and have a parser accepting this language.
Maybe my answer doesn't seem helpful, but my point is that language isn't a static, fixed and closed set.

Given some constraints, then perhaps yes, you could write a formal grammar and have a parser How about defining it as what the two of us speak while having a beer in San Francisco? Is that constrained enough? If not, what constraints should be added until it becomes possble to write a parser?
