On a forum I read a person wrote "...dressed in the vernacular of the Colombian coffee farmer..." Is that a legitimate use of "vernacular"? It seems like a stretch to me.

I agree with you. I've never known vernacular to refer to anything but language and architecture.

Thank you Setanta I'll try not to be such a stranger. And thanks for affirming my suspicion.
