Seriously, changing the terminology just to help new users is to funny,
if someone wants to learn about the terminology then they should read the
dictionary (it actually exists to be read). Just because someone doesn't
understand what `esophagus' means, doesn't mean that the word should be
changed to something that is more suitable to new people that are interested
in biology.
