RE: Harrier GR3: You Know You Want To
Discussion
All jobs seem to have jargon. Mine the radio industry has a lot.
Surprisingly so does teaching. My wife teaches and I'll go on nights out with her friends. Loads of jargon, acronyms etc.
I met an NQT who was on U2 with a high TLR but the SLT turned her down when it came to threshold time. Basically, a new teacher gets paid some extra money above her payscale because of theresponsibility her job has but the bosses said no when it came for her to get a pay rise.

Absolutely - and jargon is fine when professionals are speaking to people within their profession.
But when discussing something on an open forum where there will be people who are interested in what the professionals have to say, then it is only good manners to try and avoid the jargon.
It acts as a form of barrier and is almost like saying "we know what we are talking about but you don't".

Eric this does seem to have become your little thing, the minute someone puts a bit of jargon in a post you pipe up.But when discussing something on an open forum where there will be people who are interested in what the professionals have to say, then it is only good manners to try and avoid the jargon.

I really cant believe someone such as yourself that been an aircraft enthusiast for more years than many of us have been alive hasn't picked up the meaning of many of the most popular bits of jargon.
Yes, some of the more technical posts have a lot of jargon and need clarifying, bit in the past I've seen you pipe up when there's just one, well used bit of jargon. Many here get the gist of what's being said, and most people who don't, just ask.

Try the nuclear industry. The ph in the dsscs was a bit low, the avr had a fuse blown, the 110v ac essential ups was out for maintenance. gsw, pvcs, acw, mac, dhb, cacs, cadcs, dhbcs are all cooling systems. Bpgp, diagrid, core restraint tank, ifd, etc.Surprisingly so does teaching. My wife teaches and I'll go on nights out with her friends. Loads of jargon, acronyms etc.

Engineering discussions must sound like a foreign language.

I try not to use too much jargon to be fair although the odd bit might slip through from time to time.I really cant believe someone such as yourself that been an aircraft enthusiast for more years than many of us have been alive hasn't picked up the meaning of many of the most popular bits of jargon.

I find it's the ex-services types who are the worse culprits because they have an awful lot of service specific jargon which no one except those who served will know - even those like me who have been interested in aircraft and the military for decades feel lost when the acronyms start flying about.
