Some interesting points here, but this reads like it was written by #AI in a lot of ways. Strange word choices, strange jargon choices, misleading examples, and the works make it a pretty painful read. A useful primer? Maybe look elsewhere... ☹️

Funniest part is that they think this makes them more progressive, whole time it’s empty jargon meant to signal that they are college-educated leftists and, if anything, calling people bodies just serves to dehumanize them

It also helps to think of a lot of financial jargon as technobabble to make it all seem more complex than it actually is, not only to make the people invested in it feel smart, but also to cover up the obvious flaws you discover when you break it all down in simpler terminology.

Occasionally, merely for the pleasure of being cruel, we put unoffending Frenchmen on the rack with questions framed in the incomprehensible jargon of their native language, and while they writhed, we impaled them, we peppered them, we scarified them, with their own vile verbs and participles.

And what was revealed was fascinating. I'm paraphrasing, but something like "This is what happens when you stall on 'take-off' [I remember the quotes--he's using airman jargon which hasn't entered the vocabulary yet!] Don't worry, he was fine". Uh huh. I'm pretty sure that was a little white lie.

"Alpha" here is investment jargon for rate of return rather than the alpha male sense. Or at least that's what Andreesen means, it's possible Musk has misunderstood adding yet another layer of idiocy.

I know what you mean. "Plain language" is jargon for those of us working on clear comms. Most people think about dumbed-down and simplistic language when they hear the word "plain."
I follow the EU's example: call it "clear writing" (or clear comms) and use the ISO plain language definition.

@rosieqtx.bsky.social and I produced one issue of a zine called Trade Journal back in the late '90s celebrating trade journal magazines like this or Professional Candy Buyer, etc. Specific jargon of use to only one industry and deep interest and reporting in mundanity is 100% my jam.
It is the highest achievement of humanity that such journals exist.
