Ah, but that's so dull!  We're all of us natlangers, too.  None of us DON'T
speak a natural language.  The point was to put us in a special category,
like the wizards, and the rest in a comic category, like the "muggles."  I
had suggested avlangers, speakers of only average languages, and condensed
that to "avlers" (the double "v" was a purely Teonaht slip!!), but now think
that ordlanger (ordinary language) might be better--or "soolers" (speakers
of only ordinary language).   :)   ???
