Oh thanks but what the fuck does any of that mean

Repeat this to yourself until it begins to have meaning

If your field is strewn with roundels, you can describe it appropriately as being bezanty, hurty, golpy, and so on.

"gorse" and "furze" are both common names for flowers of the genus Ulex. it's also called "whin"

The heraldry in many (but not all) other countries use normal words in their actual language instead of insisting on french

And it's nice since it makes heraldry more accessible to normal people

I disagree axiomatically that using simpler language constitutes more accessible language. Learning new words is easier than learning new concepts for old words. Using common-colour names, to me, loses separation between the general concept of colour and the more restricted heraldic concept of tincture.

As said, other countries' heraldry are perfectly capable of being communicated in their normal language by their national heraldic office as well as lay people, with no loss of function or standardisation, using all the same rules, only without being tied to french mix.

By all means use vernacular language to describe things in a vernacular context, but standardised descriptions are not a vernacular context.

Anyway, "It has always been so" isn't a very god argument for refusing to make something more accessible and understandable. We don't conduct masses in latin anymore either.

Good to see that wing boners continue to survive after all these years.

(1) In point of fact, he had heard of it, on numerous occasions, most often when a friend or well-meaning-but-politely-horrified acquaintance advised him to locate some, but he always studiously ignored this in favor of a much more productive righteous fury, which he kept hot enough to boil the kettle for his afternoon tea. If the world was not going to work as it should, then damn it all, he would create one in which people had some blasted sense for a change. And he did. Spite, as it turns out, makes for an excellent motivator.
