comment What's the difference between 話せる and 話す?
Fair enough. I have no idea what the "traditional" way to explain things like this is. "え form" or "え row" (if you visualize a kana chart with あいうえお rows and あ、か、さ。。。 columns) is basically what I learned.

What do you mean by "halfway (inaccurately) tied to the traditional terminology?"

comment Translation - Long sentence, uncertain of the nuance
Since I really have no clue what is most correct, I was planning to just accept the answer which got a clear majority of upvotes from others, but since nobody has upvoted anyone else's answer yet, I'm at a loss as to which to accept… Thanks to all for your answers at any rate.

comment Translation - Long sentence, uncertain of the nuance
dainichi: The context is an essay about the suffix ~[道]{どう} as in [華道]{かどう} (flower arranging) and [剣道]{けんどう} (fencing) and how it is sometimes used ironically to imply a non-traditional skill, like パチンコ道 (implying a skill in the traditional art of pachinko). At least, I think what that's about. To tell the truth, the textbook it's from, [中級]{ちゅうきゅう}から[学]{まな}ぶ日本語 (第6課), and the class I'm taking that's using it are pretty much kicking my ass.

Okay, that's pretty much what I thought, though your English translation was better than mine.
