Well, personally, I find almost everything about the vocabulary to be
obtuse.  When your elevator pitch has something about a hairnet over a
basketball you're not exactly explaining why I would care or how I
would use it.

I prefer those terms, yes, but I have nothing to do with vocabulary.

No.  I use it simply because I don't know of a better solution (see:
http://purl.org/NET/marccodes/languages/amh#lang or the proposal of
lcsubjects.org to dbpedia here:
http://dilettantes.code4lib.org:37341/30000) but I can't vouch for
whether or not people find it useful or even know that it exists

I thought dbpedia used to have umbel predicates in it, but I can't
find any at the moment.
