Most English readers don't know what URIs are.

They know that words are identifiers.
They know that identifiers denote (name or "refer to") entities or things.
They know that basic sentence structure is comprised of a subject, predicate, and object. That each of the aforementioned roles are associated with words in a sentence.

Given the right examples they will also understand that literals are the only mechanism for denotation.

Correction:

Meant to say: literals aren't the only mechanism for entity denotation. On the Web and Internet, URIs are more effective denotation mechanisms.
