All right. I program and I speak English all the time, how's that for credentials? I mean this in the nicest possible way but this is like saying a whole lot and nothing at the same time. I think if I heard this as a verbal response to the original article, I would think the speaker just wants to hear himself speak. You haven't really stated counter point by which to justify any kind of disagreement. It's seems to be like a promissory note of "well if the language conformed to some subset dialect like legalese that could be great." I think there are very big problems for English-like programming languages that this sort of skirts over and dismisses. Just because you think people that think a phrase like "Me ain't got no dollas" is horrible grammar are just fuddy duddy "prescriptivists" doesn't really solve the problem of English-like programming languages.
