To use SQL effectively a certain amount of training is needed. But people are trained to read and write and do arithmatic. How to understand and write simple relational database queries is a broadly useful skill that should be widely taught in schools.

When it comes to written English, perhaps that could do with some reforms just as with SQL. Yet the way we write remains mostly unchanged.
