For most of us, communication has never been and should never be elitist or obscure. It is functional rather than an end in itself. For me, the people are the true end; language is just a tool to reach and teach them, a means to an end. We live in an age when the world is no longer ruled as it once was by the Latin of the elites, but by the common, democratic tongues of the people. And if you want to reach the people, you must first speak their language.
