From a business point of view: I find that if I'm talking with SMEs, everyday English is what they like. If I'm talking with people from large organisations, they seem to like geek-speak.

So in our attempts to "be real" we should avoid dumbing down what we are trying to communicate. The most important thing when communicating is to know you audience and meet them where they are at.

I love this! it's so true too; it can be really intimidating when someone starts talking over your head and you're trying so hard to follow them. One thing I value in a person: he or she may speak over my head, but is willing to break it down for me when I ask. haha!

It's unfortunate that the best way to survive grad school is to learn the lingo and incorporate as much of the field's jargon into your papers as you can. (Guaranteed "A+" right there.) The chief reason it's so unfortunate is that we have to communicate with others in the real world once we graduate. No matter what your field is (tech, church, etc.), you have to establish a connection with people. Oftentimes, the best communicators excel at finding this common language, rather than sharing tons of deep academic thoughts no one can understand. I absolutely agree.
