Eh, one's ability to communicate concisely and precisely has long (forever?) been limited by one's audience.

Only a fairly small set of readers or listeners will appreciate and understand the differences in meaning between, say, "strange", "odd", and "weird" (dare we essay "queer" in its traditional sense, for a general audience? No, we dare not)—for the rest they're perfect synonyms. That goes for many other sets of words.

Poor literacy is the norm, adjust to it or be perpetually frustrated.
