Teresa,

I have to say that I think relatively few users are going to use the
language feature to get around this. I know you have done amazing things
with it, but even some of the other high-end users run into trouble playing
with custom languages, so I would NOT recommend that to newer users. Lots
of people want there to be an alternate phrase here, so let's hope it's
high on Bob's to-do list.
