You've gotta know your audience. Fellow IC techs? Your version. Managers? Demonstrate your ability and willingness to use their jargon.

One isn't better than the other. They're just used by different groups.

Seriously why the silly insuffer theater, demonstrating willingness to perform ritualistic sodomy of your ego?

    Why try to communicate with the people you're asking to pay you a salary using language they're familiar with? Great point. I can't think of a single reason to do that. It’s a great hill to die on.

      Why is this the language they're familiar with? Serial dishonesty?

        It's frequently referred to as "tact".

          Is this tact by chance circular in nature? Does it happen to be utilized more frequently during the course of group activities a given management hierarchy is known to regularly participate in?

          Not trying to be a jerk, just curious.
