Common or trade language should be something like pidgin english. Only
enough words to be able to communicate but nothing fancy. And certainly
not enough complicated concepts to get into trouble with other cultures,
let along races. Something like an approved wordlist for each race.
That also cracks down nicely on the issue of OOC conversation in an
IC setting as the words for the OOC conversation simply don't exist
in the common language. <gr>
