Could you please simplify the capitalized words?
The most extraordinary thing about language, however, is that one doesn’t have to be a genius to set its wheels in motion. THE LANGUAGE MACHINE ALLOWS JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY FROM PRE-MODERN FORAGERS IN THE SUBTROPICAL SAVANNAH, TO POST- MODERN PHILOSOPHERS IN THE SUBURBAN SPRAWL - TO TIE THESE MEANINGLESS SOUNDS TOGETHER INTO AN INFINITE VARIETY OF SUBTLE SENSES, AND ALL APPARENTLY WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST EXERTION. YET IT IS PRECISELY THIS DECEPTIVE EASE WHICH MAKES LANGUAGE A VICTIM OF ITS OWN SUCCESS, SINCE IN EVERYDAY LIFE ITS TRIUMPHS ARE USUALLY TAKEN FOR GRANTED. The wheels of language run so smoothly that one rarely bothers to stop and think about all the resourcefulness and expertise that must have gone into making it tick. Language conceals art.

Using language means everyone from ancient rural people in hot places to high-thinking modern people in cities - can make noises that represent a lot of ideas without effort. As it seems easy, and succesful, we don't give it much attention.

The Language Machine allows almost everyone to speak with ease, which ends up with language being taken for granted.
If you really want a super watered down version.

What's the aim?
It seems the same as last time.
Do you want to understand it? Want it explaned, or just rewritten retaining the same meaning?
Simpler words?
Simpler grammar?
