I'm one who tries hard to interpret those texts into my own "common" comprehension. I would love it if academics could communicate in more down to Earth lingo.

I'm one who tries hard to interpret those texts into my own "common" comprehension. I would love it if academics could communicate in more down to Earth lingo. But I suspect they're obscuring much of it bc they don't want bad forces to utilize it. Agree with yr interp of feeling language. Hayakawa would too, re: poetry. Furthermore it's an expression of success... we've thought our way into awareness and can now practice "spirituality [...] forgiveness, [...] and healing." As well as just plain entertainment.... And all of this needs to bring in the media theory side that technical info has been moving out of books! I defy the authors to scan bound manuals, gopher, Usenet FAQs, IETF docs and github for signs of creeping "feminization."
