> If someone doesn’t know what it means the answer is

Who do they ask? They have just interrupted someone else's flow to ask - worse they might ask the wrong person and interrupt more than one persons flow in getting an answer. There is a high cost to even trivial questions and the more of them someone needs to ask the worse.

The point is there is a balance you need to find that balance.

If someone can’t deal with such totally standard and easily discoverable terminology, they don’t stand a chance. If they can’t ask their coworkers questions when confused, they (and the company) don’t stand a chance. You are far beyond the point of “balance” here.

I take pedagogy very seriously and work very hard for both experienced and inexperienced people to understand what I do, but this is just ridiculous. This is a non-issue.
