<p>I think you are. Someone asked for the noun for <i>snow,</i> and
you're basically saying not to ask for one because you can find
other ways to say it. I'd like a noun for snow so I don't have to
play at circumlocution whenever I want to use it. I also find it
highly unlikely that Klingons don't have a word for this common
stuff, and that they play word games whenever they talk about it.</p>
<p>It's a wish-list, not an I-can't-find-any-other-way-to-say-it
list.<br>
