POPSdejargonator: stilted language makes Americans hostile to intellectuals Be sure to give this to all the members of your thesis or dissertation committee to let them know the error of their ways. :D Seriously, the author presents good points in a clear, useful, and entertaining way. Overuse of jargon often does take the fun and interest out of reading academic articles. Yet I believe that we also have to remember that writing clearly should not go so far as to "dumb down" the material to satisfy (spoon-feed) the poorly educated reader.

Later, when I was conducting memoir writing and personal history, I used the quote again to convince my students they were writers.
