I did exactly the same - I changed lexical structure of language, mainitaining the syntax, most of it.
Programmers, just like most other people, read words as a whole entities, quite like hierogliphics [2]. If we talk about "people are not computers" we should recognize that and allow for longer (yet atomic) lexical structure of the same language.
When you use C, you can write "~ x" and you can also write "??- x" [1], a slightly more verbose version of the same thing.
