Tech Speak
I advocate simplicity in everything. But articles like this, Why the Tech Industry Needs to Change Its Language, only tell half the story. All languages evolve. And speakers need to simply accept this and evolve accordingly. Languages must be rich enough to allow for precise, nuanced communication and forcibly dumbing down language simply stunts the dialog. In my experience, dumbed-down language can be as much a root cause of misunderstandings as jargon-laden communication.
