[QUOTE="Yora, post: 5896744, member: 6670763"] Also, given that the books are not traslated into many languages and often not all books are translated or with a huge delay, lots of people just buy all their D&D books in English. And I've played with a number of people who can read english, but are not really good at it. Using a simple vocabulary and clear short sentences benefits them as well. But of course, you can still use such language to say intelligent things. The first chapters of the 4th Edition PHB made an impression that the rest of the book never could overcome. Also, use yards instead of feet. A yard is roughly the same as a meter for the purpose of imaginary people moving at imaginary speeds. But outside the US and maybe the UK, nobody has any clue how much a foot is. Even though I think that Americans know what a meter is, yard still has that old-timey, outdated feel to it, but you can convert yards to meters 1:1 without really affecting the game. Everybody wins.
