	I wish for explanations for Thing Explainer, using more words. For instance, when explaining cells, I'm not sure what is the "bag filler" (the Golgi apparatus? but does it make bags of death water aka lysosomes), the strange boxes (???), the empty pockets (???), the doping substances they produce (???). It also took me a while to guess and google what ships visited the ISS. There, the "big carrier from many countries" seems the European ATV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Transfer_Vehicle), but that flew to the ISS 5 times, not 4. Since I'm clueless and Munroe isn't, I must be missing something. --[[User:Blaisorblade\|Blaisorblade]] ([[User talk:Blaisorblade\|talk]]) 20:39, 7 September 2019 (UTC)		I wish for explanations for Thing Explainer, using more words.

		+	: Hm, the empty boxes are probably vesicles and vacuoles, including secretory vesicles (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Secretory_vesicles&redirect=no), used to make hormones including steroids. While I finally found this out, each time it takes googling and luck — googling the nontechnical terms fails; here I looked at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Animal_Cell.svg. --[[User:Blaisorblade\|Blaisorblade]] ([[User talk:Blaisorblade\|talk]]) 20:48, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

	If the 1000 (ten hundred) word vocabulary is still too complex and you want to explain things in ''even simpler'' terms, you might take a look at the [http://learnthesewordsfirst.com learnthesewordsfirst.com] dictionary. It explains the 2000 most common English words using a set of only 360 words (the "semantic atoms and molecules" from the lessons). It is intended for 2nd-language learners, but interesting from the perspective of explaining things using reductive paraphrase.
