Right :-)
And electrictions should no longer use all those technical words like amps
and guage.  They should just talk about big wires and little wires :-)

Electronic schematics should get rid of all those hard to understand
symbols and draw pictures of what each component really looks like :-)

Doctors should use simple terminology like "tummy ache" when writting on
the patients chart :-)

An physisists should just competely stop talking about all those
teeny-tiny things that can't be seen and therefore don't exist :-)

All those priests should stop talking in their secret languages and talk
plain english so that the general public can understand them :-)
