    Anyway, I’m just saying the crypticness is largely cultural and unnecessary. If there is some kind of CLI “skin” that lets you interact with Linux at the command line using normal words, I’d love to know about it.

    This is far more manual than you probably had in mind, but Linux has support for a command called alias, which allows you to basically rename anything you like:

      Alias lets you rename commands but not options. For example you could alias “grep” as “search”, but you couldn’t alias the “-h” option as “-nonames” and type “search -nonames” . You still have to type “search -h”.
