I can appreciate that scientific vocabulary may seem boring. However, a specific and universal vocabulary is necessary so that a scientist in Rangoon will know exactly, what another scientist in Calgary has done and observed. The wonder in science lies beyond the language - in what is being done and observed.

If I tell you that Amorphophallus titanum has the world's largest spadix, you could simply be bored by the big scarey words.

But, there's a lot of fun and wonder in understanding what the hell is being discussed. And, in this particular case, even the scarey words are fun.
