I have a severe problem regarding this: my writing and indeed my explanation are often very verbose, and more often than not, filled with jargon.
I had been for a very long time, a believer that jargon simplifies communication because a lot of information is encapsulated in jargon. However I have come to believe, recently, that I could not have been more wrong.
