I don't think it would be great if regular English did so. Natural languages can't do so. If you do that you kill the language. My point is simply that we expect English to be like that and it's good that it isn't, but we can still leverage people's understanding of the language to help people learn programming faster, and moreover when languages do not do this they have more trouble gaining traction.
