Description: Jargon refers to the specialized terminology used within a particular field or profession. This type of technical language is common in various disciplines, including technology, medicine, law, and many other areas. The use of jargon allows professionals to communicate more efficiently and precisely, as they employ terms that are understood by those familiar with the field. However, jargon can also be exclusionary, making it difficult for those unfamiliar with the specific terminology to understand. In the technology realm, for example, terms like ‘API’, ‘cloud computing’, or ‘machine learning’ are examples of jargon that, while common among experts, can be confusing to the general public. Therefore, the use of jargon should be balanced, considering the audience and the context of communication.
