Yeah, on the other hand, try to do math in spoken language and see how 
far and fast you go in demonstrations.

Mathematical notations is a huge progress to express complex ideas in 
synthetic form. I'm sure the language changes our way of thinking. Math 
language is a winner to do math.

Could math language really achieve this goal without being contextual?
I doubt it.
