- reaperducer 6y agoIt's not about education or vocabulary. It's about using words to make yourself sound important, when you're not. The problem is that people who don't have a good vocabulary abuse these words and change their meaning for self-serving purposes, and not to communicate.
- astrea 6y agoPerhaps that's just projections of your own insecurities and those words are just simply what come to mind for them or find the most descriptive.

No, it's because I have a degree is Communication, and understand the importance of language in the workplace. Any "insecurity" is just defensiveness on your part. Or, to put it in language you might understand: "Troll harder, n00b."
- imwillofficial 6y agoOoooh the guy with the degree in communications has decided what is useful and what is over the top in regards to mid tier vocabulary usage. I think you’ve missed the point of this whole website my friend.
- astrea 6y agoI'm merely saying that if someone using "orthogonal" in a sentence seems pretentious to you, then perhaps you're the issue.
- kube-system 6y agoIdempotent is definitely jargon. It was coined by a mathematician and the word has no use outside of a math/cs context.
- astrea 6y agoSure, but if you're using it in the context of math/cs, then it's not really unnecessary jargon.
