: Colloquial language is fun and all, but this does seem a
: little excessive.

It also makes translation a little harder too.  How many non-english
speakers could translate:
	"People thinking of using foo should put the crack pipe down."
or
	"The cluefully challanged may think this a good idea."
or
	"Junto?  Nah, tain't time."

I can tell you that I can translate "normal polite" Japanese better
than I can translate informal or colloquial Japanese.
