I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et \
elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med \
fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer \
på norsk. _______________________________________________
