The “common language” of DDD was the language of the business domain, so that’s in line with DDD.

The practical problem is that the language of many business domains is often highly context dependent, making it unsuitable for direct use where ambiguity must be avoided even without context, and trying to namespace things to map to the specific relevant business contexts is often impractical.

Yep which comes back to 'no silver bullets'.

I've found it's easier to understand their domain and map it back to mine than it is to try to build a shared domain.

Also I find business stuff interesting, it's just a nice change of pace from fighting with code.
