Shit, Tim, I am using Pools in my software. Hope it doesn't offense you that I use "Pool" :-D
I am also using bad words like Kill, killChild, terminateParent, startDaemon, removeChild, ruleViolation... Ouch!
Replacement, devitalize, requestParentToStop, startBackgroundNonAttachedProcess, freeChild, ruleNotFollowed. Much more bearable !

To be honest, people can't read sentences containing "some", "may", "could", "many", "few". They just skip these words and it totally change a discourse.
When writing, you have to use inserts like they did in their first paragraph. People will either skip it entirely or read it fully.
That's also means it had becoming harder than ever to convey nuances. That's why a lot of words gets redefined and context is not accounted anymore.
It's not about vocabulary, it's about nuances.
As an example, "fucking" is often used as a punctuation or accent. Like in "it's fucking good". You have an axis where you can say "quite","very","unexpectedly"...and then you have a perpendicular axis which is the tone. The use of "fucking" can translate some excitement and/or surprise in a colorful way.
That is the thing: colors!
Before that, it was not "ok" to say such words in the presence of less than 8 year old kids because they are not totally developed and can't understand it fully. Now, it's problematic with adults for the very same reasons! Coincidentally, that's also the level of writing in your regular tabloid! (which is a good thing: write for the audience, not for yourself!)
