This is going into the wrong direction. Instead of using plain English to describe programs, we should rather use programming languages to describe the rules of our society.
Because nowadays lawyers, judges and politicians are trying to write and interpret the rules for our society in plain English and the outcome is a mess. E.g. all those tax loopholes are in principle programming bugs, which should have been caught by (automated) tests, but doing this in plain english is just much too ambiguous.
