I've given them a try. The problem is the concrete shoes will to the
underfed mongrel try was for sockhop ~gebornen~ to make by.

To put it in layman's terms, anyway...

Actually, I've used them, and if you understand their limitations and
compensate, they're okay. Lieutenant Hoshi, they're not. If you're
dealing with anything even remotely archaic, a word which is 99%
congruent with a modern term, but not 100% congruent, will tend to
throw them for a loop. For cooks the problem is compounded by the
fact that we use a fair amount of non-standard terminology that is
fairly low on the list of the programmers' and linguists' priorities.
