Many have tried that in the decades, but IMHO the best approach is to
just rename the language. We cannot do that since it's already been
trademarked for that very reason.
From Wikipedia:
ENGLISH (actually trademarked in all caps) is a database retrieval and
reporting language somewhat like SQL, but with no actual programming or
update capabilities. Originally released by Microdata in 1973 and named
so that the company's brochures could claim that developers could
generate reports on their implementation of the Pick operating system
using English.
