That's right- so many of us got our 50 cent words from playing D&D (thank you, Gygax, for antipathy and portcullis) but we never stop and smell the languages, do we? It's all just "I wrote COMMON on my character sheet, and ... something something UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR FROM STAR TREK ... it all works!" But now it's time to explore that feeling, a little. Will you just reflexively vote put common down, or are you going for something a little exotic?
