"Why do you call it 'plain speech'? It apparently involves making a number of simultaneous different sounds that are calibrated to the listeners, which you can't even know, or else making the sounds that would convey your thoughts in all possible languages.
If I switch languages to one with better technical vocabulary for a technical conversation, will I start hearing your responses in that one?
If I invent a language that doesn't use the vocal chords, uses entirely non-vocal sound production, what happens?"
Everyone else is still blinking confusedly in the light.
