[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 14435640, member: 112"]Problem is, while that may happen sometimes, the vast majority of the time it most definitely does not happen at all. When I see terminology like that it always makes me think of people who come up with fancy sounding words, (often to do nothing more than impress others), to explain something that is much more easily explained in plain language - that anybody understands. Now is that always true ? No, of course it isn't. But we all know that it does happen. Sometimes it is nothing more than a person with a strong scientific background using the terminology of their chosen field. And when speaking to others in that field, yeah, everybody understand what it means, and what it doesn't. But when they are talking to others not in that field, a typical response is - would you mind saying that in plain English ?[/QUOTE]
