I definitely could have expressed this better.  For one thing, I should have
said "lo'i prenu" instead of "le prenu", meaning something like "the
everyman."  And another concept I failed to translate was "in spoken
language."  That is, in short words, not carefully elaborating the concept
as I did in explaining it.  Probably using "bacru" would have worked.
