Actually, though, other languages would theoretically use the word "simple" or "basic" in their own language. If only subdomains weren't limited so much as to characters.
Except the obvious objection: that this does not guarantee uniqueness. 'Simple' may be 'simple' in some non-English language; a notable example where this is the case is French.
In fact the very idea of a 'Simple French' wikipedia called français-simple is discussed on this page (in French):

I would want en-simple.
That would work for me.
