I'm not quite sure why that makes you enormously happy, but as a language designer, I can share a related observation:
Programmers seem to me to do better with tools that let them use approximations of natural language. For instance, in the Smalltalk language, it was/is very common to have method named arguments marked with things like "WithHelpOf:" -- markers of prepositions and so on.
Languages with unnamed arguments, like Common Lisp, C, etc, can be dealt with because we have big brains, but somewhat less naturally.
