Review: Sure it is right! Even with a question where we are waiting just for a "yes" or "no" we receive a whole document saying nothing!

Review: I totally agree. We are in a tech age and business world where everybody wants to use the "jargon." Sometimes I think the jargon is used to try to impress an audience, but most of them don't prepare for their audience. I am in a communications class at this time, working on my BA and the motto is "know your audience, keep it simple, and clear."
Thanks,
All jargon out!

Review: Amen .. your comments are right on. Once, in a boardroom meeting I used the technical term "single threaded" for a business process that wasn't working, believing that everyone would understand. Boy was I wrong .. next meeting I was presented with an award ( a single thread on a plaque).
Learned from that .. hopefully your audience will pay attention. Well written Carmine.
