Any statement can be translated into the symbols and language of formal logical. If any statement can be translated into a mathematical language, or expressed as a principle of symbolic logic.
As an epistemological moderate, I would never dismiss a tautologous translation of statements of expressed in regular, common speech into statements of mathematics or symbolic language. Different ways of communicating and alternative ways of thinking do offer us fresh ideas, and fresh outlooks.
Having granted this, I think that ordinary language still works very well as the language of epistemology, philosophy, and commerce.
