If you can do everything, there is nothing left to do.

That seems rather silly. . . I mean all language operate like that. That is practically the definition of how a language evolves. For instance if someone in the US says "I need to use the Restroom" or "I need to use the bathroom" people know they do not mean they need a room to rest in or a room with a bath inside. There are countless examples of this. In WWII the US and British mistranslated the Panzer IV as King Tiger or Royal Tiger because they used literal translations. Basically what I am saying is that Tongues should not work on any language based on this premise.

Every language has idioms. Over time these idioms replace words. Druidic is once again not the exception. Just watch the south park episode "The F Word" to get a better understanding of what I mean (Fair warning the episode contains a word which may be offensive to some cultures).
