I know of literally thousands of specific apes (and have it on good authority that the actual number reaches into the billions) who have built vocabularies reaching the tens of thousands without the use of advanced technological aids.

In what way are you contributing to the dialogue here? This is an incredibly interesting topic and you do a disservice by not adding anything worthwhile.

  Just that "ape" is a uselessly imprecise term for this sort of headline.

    Not really. There are only a few great apes that people are familiar with, so the term "ape" is fairly precise. It's also alliterative.
