What I do is: If you're bartering/bargaining you don't have
limitations. If you're using it differently, players must talk with
simple sentences (only one verb), without conjugating the verbs (this
may not seem important to some of you, but it's more critical in latin
languages than English) and very few adjectives. It's quite funny.
