That is, in fact, a much more concise way of explaining it.
My parser will not have to read human language in the same way that Babelfish and its sibling Google Translate have to, because the user enters natural words, but not natural sentences. The only thing the user should really have to learn is the grammar. The grammar is constructed with symbols, which I plan will be not dissimilar from mathematics and symbols commonly found in internet-culture like : and /. The parser does not have to read "I knew a guy who played guitar", which is not machine-friendly, but simply "I knew man :[played guitar]", which is (or should be).
The key points are minimising the learning curve and exploiting internet-age technology. The user will have some time getting used to the symbols but it should be fairly intuitive, and will have to learn the grammar, which will be fairly simple. The is no vocab to memorise, no twisted conjugation to master and no pronouncition to stumble over.
In thoery, at least.
