One thing I find both amusing and disturbing is the number of friends and colleagues that feel the need to complain about their "stupid" client base. Lets make something clear, each purposed position of expertise implements a series of verbiage, symbols, and rituals if you will not for the sake of communicating "better" but the very opposite. Lets face it any position reliant on asymmetrical information is flimsy at best. In essence we create a language or system unique to our own in an effort to confuse the rest of society to solidify our need or importance. Much like an adolescent middle schooler with a Lord of the Rings infatuation speaking elvish to his or her friends.
My question is when do you begin to associate one with the other because the real scary part is when these so called experts start to think he or she is some how smarter than those around them.
When it comes down to it if we wanted to communicate our message effectively we would teach and use language that any 8 year old is capable of understanding. Know that it is a key reason you remain employed, and be grateful any time a question gets asked of you.
