- skydhash 3y agoI’m not a native speaker and learned English primarily through technical books. I may have a succint way of writing, but it does match my idea 100%. You can explain an idea in multiple ways and I rather avoid jargon (I like to tell a story) when talking to someone who is not that interested in the topic.
- peddling-brink 3y agoI don’t know your girlfriend or her interests. In my opinion, the sentence came off as condescending. You were dunking on your s/o for no clear reason. She wasn’t relevant to the rest of the comment. I don’t mean to moralize, it just caught my eye as I scrolled by.
- arcastroe 3y agoI didn't get that impression at all. Using "less technical words" is not an insult.
- pests 3y agoI didn't see any slight. I prefer it, for example, when a doctor uses less medical words when discussing things. I'm not a doctor, I don't know the vocab and jargon as well as he does. Would you rather he just use a bunch of technical terms and jargon she won't understand? That seems pretty condescending.
