I, also, had not heard the term in any other than the third definition. Vulgar Latin, on the other hand, as the common language of the citizens, I had heard. And the more I hear about it the more it seems a language different from the language of oratory, rhetoric and learned writing, not just in usage and preciseness, but in basic grammar.
