I'm not sure it's a good way to start a campaign by deliberately looking 
for loopholes in the rules ;-). I don't think this will be a problem in 
practice, but if you want, you can define that the most commonly used 
language is used for the count, or you can retain some flexibility in 
the enforcement. I'll leave it to the organizers to decide this. What is 
important is that there is at least a basic requirement so that people 
don't go overboard.
