I feel the same way. I strongly believe that choice of language makes a huge difference in your material’s reception. Any time I am told that something I’m doing is wrong by an article, an inanimate piece of text that clearly has no cognition thus no idea what I’m doing or not doing, I think that the person who wrote it, is, in fact, communicating wrong. I was on the fence about posting this reply; after all the guidelines tell us to stay relevant to the material, but I do believe you have done that.

> I strongly believe that choice of language makes a huge difference in your material’s reception. Not with me, unless you're talking about the difference between clear and unclear language. I'm not bothered by language that some people seem to class as patronizing or like you know everything or whatever. When somebody is explaining something to me, I don't want them to explain it to me like I know it already. I want them to explain it to me like someone I've hired to explain things to me i.e. like they're the expert and I'm not. If I think I know everything about make, there's no reason for me to have clicked on this other than an urge to seek out things that confirm my sense of self-worth, or to get upset about things that threaten it.
