On jargon

Posted by ankur in Research (1311 words, approximately a 6 minute read)

The truth is, it also affects the speaker if the speaker does indeed intend to get the point across. In this post I discuss how it affects my work and me and I try to document what I can do to improve my communications to make it easier for my listeners and me to understand each other correctly.
