Ross

I believe the answer is:

vernacular

(Other definitions for vernacular that I've seen before include "Characteristic language" , "Local-style" , "Everyday language" , "Native language" , "Native tongue - dialect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Daily, the King Feature Syndicate, The Times, The Sunday Times and the Family Time.
