Nah, nah, nah, don't do that, let the bloke learn English and read up on
DNS the same as all other non-Windows people have to. At 17 I had
O-Level (Cambridge) in his language, at 22 A-Level and at 37 I'd lived
in his country for 15 years. I was expected to speak and read both of
the languages there fluently.
If you change the connotation "canonical name", then the CNAME records
won't have any meaning. Or perhaps you can persuade the BIND people to
change CNAME to AUTHNAME?

There ain't nothing wong with your English, Philip. As to the "short
definition", some URLs to DNS-related sites would be more appropriate.
