Well, you are now talking about creating a load of new words - that would cause massive problems for anybody that already speaks the language.
I disagree with the comment about spoken dialogue. If that was in a film, for example, the words "Their computers" would be accompanied by a point to the people, or a nod, or something. It can also be inflected differently, something that you can't portray in the written word.
