And it's him I saw when I was in France--Briton, Anzac, Frenchman, American, Canadian, South African, Belgian.

Aye, and it was plain men the Hun commanders sent tae dee.
We've seen what comes to a land whaur the plain man has nae voice in the affairs o' the community, and no say as to hoo things shall be done.
In Russia--though God knows what it'll be like before ye read what I am writing the noo!--the plain man has nae mair to say than he had in Germany before the ending o' the war.

The plain man wants nowt better than tae do his bit o' work, and earn his wages or his salary plainly -- or, maybe, to follow his profession, and earn his income.

It's no the money a man has in the bank that tells me whether he's a plain man or no.

It's the way he talks and thinks and feels.
I've aye felt mysel' a plain man.
