I admit it. I do not understand the jargon of rappers, computer coders, or lawyers.

Although jargon makes communication easier within a group, it comes across otherwise to outsiders, and can pose a problem.

New cover of 4th edition "21st Century Science and Health" coming soon!

The jargon isn’t the problem or disease. But the jargon can become diseased if people insist on certain terminology and language, as if those words are irreplaceable or sacred. Jargon and words need to evolve or they die.

As a work in progress, and with the intent to keep jargon healthy and communication flowing,21st Century Science and Health, is now in its 4th edition, available in a few weeks for purchase from Trafford Publishing, in print and e-book format.
