Words are hard :(

I was going to say something similar to this. I have a big issue with people who use jargon in posts intended for the everyday reader, I do think that's designed to make laypeople feel stupid and undereducated. (And for some terms, "just look it up" doesn't work. I spent two months reading things from my library to understand one person's jargon-laden post about postmodernism, Derrida, and critical theory, and still didn't get it.) But basic vocabulary, things that can be quickly looked up and understood, doesn't count as "jargon".
