Once you have these sentences in predicate form, it becomes much easier to do 
some statistical matching on them, and group and classify them together to 
generate a set of more logical statements, and to disambiguate the simple 
english term you use first, into a single Term entity in the knowledge base.

IE
on Christmas people give presents
on Thanksgiving people eat turkey
on a pizza there is pepperoni
on a pizza there is olives

These will start to form patterns for the different uses, that we can use to 
formalize general rules or logics (Not necessarily FOL)

like on(Holiday, people do things)
on(food, are other foods)

I said that "English sentences
translate neatly into predicate logic statements".  I should have left
out "logic".  I like using predicates to organize sentences.  I made
that post because Josh was pointing out some of the problems with
logic, but then making the false conclusion that predications are a
bad representation.  I wanted to say that you can use a predicate
representation, but use something other than FOPL to process it.
