Industry Jargon And Definitions Conflict With Common Language

By: Lance Winslow

Published: September 11, 2007

Have you ever noticed that Industry Professionals often create a new language to describe the things they are discussing? They often do this for reasons of maintaining common ground in their business endeavors. However often in making this new language and industry jargon they in fact borrow other words, which are common words used in society. If you are to ask these professionals why they chose words which are common words in the language to mean something else in your industry, they look at you and simply say; “So, that is irrelevant” we are using them this way here and that is just the way it is. Computer Industry was quick to take this egotistic approach and shun their responsibilities to the greater good of the common language. Yet, how on Earth can they say that public use of a words definition is irrelevant?

Yet these same industry gurus will say with out “common ground” in their own industry; that one is isolated? Then in fact they are saying that they themselves have isolated their entire industry from the rest of the civilization. If an industry is isolated then it can never complete whatever it is it is attempting. Often an industry, which masks itself and wraps itself in a jargon can run a stealth in its attempt to innovate past competing industries in the market place, yet in doing so it risks the synergy of explosive growth. By using trickery and stealth they attempt to distance themselves from others. In doing so they may not recruit the hard chargers necessary to hyperspace the industry. Think on these scarios.
