I have to say I agree. Also, at risk of keeping a pointless debate going
still longer (sorry, I tried but I just can't resist),
Do the people who think "lingua franca" is, err, verboten, think that the
great american public wouldn't understand "Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone"? (ahh the sorcerer's stone, that well known
holy grail, oops, shiny thing, of alchemy, sorry, magic).

PS. note I am not knocking the "great american public" - I think the
bozos at Warner Bros. were though...
