Hi Talthen,
Another problem you may have is the ability of people to be able to tell your program exactly what their prose actually means. At least here in the UK, grammar is barely taught in schools anymore so relying on British people to be able to codify their writing correctly might not be possible. For example, I'd hazard a guess that a reasonable proportion of the population wouldn't even be able to define what a pronoun is, let alone tell you whether they were using the word 'me' as a direct or indirect pronoun (which your program would need to know).
I'm not trying to discourage you, I'd love for this to be achieved, just mentioning something else you might want to think about.

The idea that such "perfect language" is possible to create is very
intuitive.
Yet, nobody have made it so far, so it's probably much harder than it
seems. Sure, but have you ever heard about anybody who tried it as an Open
project?
Microsoft spend many years and cash on creating its Windows OSes, but
Linux
is so better... I think my idea may be realized, but I can't do this just by myself...
