Anna: We (or at least I) apologize profusely for any bewilderment and would be most happy to elucidate upon any point not having been clearly expressed if only you would identify the offending passages, indicating in each case the grounds of your perplexity

["I would like to form a Coalition for the Dissemination of the Type-2"]
Dale, I don't know to which category "coalition" belongs; that one I can use without looking it up. But "dissemination" I had to look up. To me that might allready be a type-3 word. You could also have said "spreading around". Which would be a type - 2 expression to me, (if I got it right) It is hard to form a coalition when you can't be sure that your definition has the same meaning or value to others, as it has to you.

"I would like to form a Coalition for the Dissemination of the Type-2"
Dale, I don't know to which category "coalition" belongs;
***I myself would place it as Type-2 since I judge most folk (eg, you and I) understand it well. I could have used a Type-1, such as "Club"
that one I can use without looking it up. But "dissemination" I had to look up. To me that might already be a type-3 word.
***Indeed your point is well taken. I would place it at Type-2 although many words are of course intermediate
You could also have said "spreading around". Which would be a type - 2 expression to me, (if I got it right)
***To me it's definitely Type-1 since it's universally understood and exactly what one might say casually without stopping to think
It is hard to form a coalition when you can't be sure that your definition has the same meaning or value to others, as it has to you.
***True, but that's not the main stumbling block

yes, the main stumbling block would be all of the weisenheimers who responded in mordant, contumelious fashion.

How did this thread veer toward auto-eroticism?
