> but to implement the existing natural language conventions. 

"Though the exact definition is debatable, natural language is often contrasted
with artificial or constructed languages such as Esperanto." (...) "Linguists
have an incomplete understanding of all aspects of the rules underlying natural
languages" (Not only linguists, I think)
(...) "While grammarians, writers of dictionaries, and language policy-makers
all have a certain influence on the evolution of language, their ability to
influence what people think they 'ought' to say is distinct from what people
actually say"
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language

*The existing* it's mean used today (links at comment #11), not yesterday. 
1. Roman numerals for months aren't today's Polish language conventions. Beside
not many publishers nobody using it. 
2. For hand-written texts arabic numerals are standard because of easy writting.
3. Words without dots and 3 letter abbreviations are still natural Polish
language. It is correct and approved in computer systems (comment #19). 

I hope we are talking about Polish natural language in computer systems? This is
not alt.pl.poetry group?
