I definitely understand the argument that different human languages have different semantic patterns. The only non-English language I know (reading, not speaking) is classical Latin, which likes to have nouns and verbs at the opposite ends of phrases; after reading a lot, it just starts to "feel" right.

    account.deposit(Dollar.of(100))

I also know what this means, but somehow it just doesn't "feel" right. Maybe it's because all the other words are in English, so I want 100.dollars to follow English word order? But account.deposit(...) feels much better to me than deposit(into: account, ...), which is the "wrong" word order. I'm perfectly willing to accept that I just have a sense of what "feels" good to me and it's not necessarily logical or reasoned, just a general aesthetic of nouns playing in a world of data.

As an aside, I always find it funny when people use "monkey patching" in an attempt to decry giving language users expressive power. I love monkeys! I love monkey patching!

I'm still not clear on whether or not you are a native English speaker, but the point being made is that the expressiveness of a programming language shouldn't be tied to the semantics of a spoken language irrespective of whether the majority of the keywords are expressed in some given language (in this case English using Latin alphabet).
