I have complex, deeply mixed and confused feelings about jargon. Part of me loves jargon. I love precise terminology, little used words, and they can be so useful. At the same time, I'm not a fan of that feeling that you would be able to understand something ... but someone piled up jargon in the way just to keep you out.
Is there a way to thread the needle? To indulge in obscure vocabularies but avoid gatekeeping?
