"Audience matters and when writing for a general English speaking audience, terms of art need to be either explained (boring) or translated. This author chose translation." I agree that audience matters, but I'm not sure how using the proper term and footnoting an explanation would be onerously "boring." Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. At the end of the day, I'm not overly bothered by it, one way or the other. These sorts of things always come down to prescriptivism vs. descriptivism, and that battle can become a holy war in certain circles. Not so much for me. Just chiming into an existing thread about the subject.
