In my opinion to English'ish is very error prone, because every body has his
way of talking. True, transcript is English but English has many versions.
Besides the fact that RR is already a very big language. Therefore I think
the best way is a bit scheme or some kind of formality and not, e.g. If
there is a or so on. Also in your case 70 percent of RR has has to be
changed and 10 percent omitted (which I would prefer)
IsNumber change to "number" and number change to amount or count
selectedLine, hilitedLine.
Now in a case like this I'd rather suggest to add a function "thereIs" or
something alike, instead of looping to equate.

Well in this one, if a=b or c=d is shorter and clearer.

Or if a = (b or c)

Or put a into b,c This is something that would be good.
