Thank you, I will certainly use the story of George's adventures.

We have in fact been discussing the idea of winnowing out 'sca-speak' to keep from overly confusing newcomers. Unfortunately, there are small roadblocks, one being "They aren't that hard to understand" to which I always answer, "If you are new, you don't know where to even find the answer!" The folks in my group are 10, 15, and 20 year or more members, and have lost touch with the feeling of newness.

It's an interesting 'battle'.
