Influence vs Inspire

Actually, the word "influence" is on the VOA Special English Word Book. While not the same as the Basic English word lists which are the core used here, the VOA list is of a similar nature. That list is the core used for US government radio broadcasts (often in foreign countries where ASL English is common). "Influence" is much more well understood as a term than "inspire". That being said, a simpler form would be better (ie. "took/got ideas from"), but would be too wordy for an infobox. The term should probably be linked though. --Creol(talk) 01:39, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
