Well, binomial nomenclature actually classifies an organism by a more scientific name... But not just any name, the names are given in the latin language. It's also a name that sounds the same in every language. No, not everyone speaks latin, but if you use the phrase "Mephitis mephitis"(meaning skunk) to any scientist in the biological field, no matter what language he speaks, he will know you're talking about a skunk... and maybe he'll assume your a scientist too. (;

Basically, binomial nomenclature is simply making the scientific name of a species recognizable by all languages. That's why it's used.
