Versatile software engineer with a background in .NET consulting and CMS development. Working on regaining my embedded development skills to get more involved with IoT opportunities.
You hit a key point though, that jargon is the specialized language of a community of some sort. A lot of times, it's primarily occupation-based, but even the slang of subcultures could be considered jargon.
I think it is why all efforts to create a universal programming language that anyone can use will fail. You can't represent the jargon of every possible occupation in a generic manner, and a lot of occupations aren't interested in a DSL because they already have an effective way to encode their information. Well, maybe not effective, but a method nonetheless.
Just a coder and a dad. I love my family and I love to code!!!! started coding at 11, so I have 25 years under my belt. Still love learning about it every day. Black lives matter!
See I have so much respect for you saying that. We are all going to use terminology in a way that may leave our conversation partner confused, but it's about wanting to help them learn either way, even if we have to change up what we say. Props to you!

And jargon is expected. It's just realizing that it's ok to know always know what they are saying and just to ask! You're right when you say there is just to many difference to just create a universal language. You add in how people learn and view information differently and it makes it unique to each person.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
