You're getting downvoted but I think this is a fair criticism. There was a recent boom of chess on twitch.tv, and I think a big part of why it took off is that the various GMs and commentators consciously simplified the terminology without sacrificing accuracy in what they were saying. It's not a binary thing either. English Go commentators could simply adopt a dual vocabulary approach where they say things like "watch out for seki or dual life." They do this already on "beginners streams" for some of the bigger events.
