And I don't think that the naming-policy is based on the audience being more literate - after all, I think most of the people complaining about Google Plus' naming policy were of higher-than-average intelligence. Maybe people are proud of showing off their reading skills?

The average Google+ user would be a more internetty early adopter type (since Google+ doesn't really satisfy a niche interest except to be an alternative to facebook).
