Love this. As a founder with an engineering background I often struggled with all sorts of legal terms and concepts. And it always seemed that people made me feel dumb every time I asked something like: "what's the difference between between LLC and Inc", or "what is a stock option?".

I think that in fields outside of science and engineering people are more quick to judge you when you make seemingly simple questions...

So thanks clerky team!

That was a huge motivation in writing this. I've found that it's common for people to gloss over legal questions with a surface-level answer, and use a variety of tactics (including making the other person feel dumb) to dissuade any follow-up questions (usually because they want to hide their inability to answer follow-up questions).
