Troll! Are you *trying* to start a flame war?
This has been beat to death almost ten years ago. Some people like mock-english while some people don't. There is no consensus.
Go figure.
AppleScript's problem isn't the english-like syntax. It's the extensible nature of it. HyperCard's scripting language is english-like, but much less extensible (you can only add events via xcmds) so it is more easily documented and more consistent as a result.
Of course, if Apple had an AppleScript czar who noodle-whipped developers who shipped crappy scripting implementations, then perhaps things would be better. Or not.
