Tech

Get it right

"Computer People reveals IT jargon leaves office workers confused!" exclaimed the headline. Unfortunately when the article goes on to explain what the five most commonly used jargon terms mean, it gets three of the definitions wrong.

Maybe that's the point. Perhaps it's clever journalism designed to make techies think about definitions.

I agree techies should use less jargon. But even more fundamentally, journalists should stop trying to mimic them.
