The technical writing course I went on as an engineer years ago recommenced "Controlled English" in documentation.
Its good for none english speakers and the lack of colloquial expression means English speaks are not miss lead.
As you say this is nothing to do with jargon.
It also means you will understand other people doing the same activity. Be they musicians or programmers.
I found this definition:
"Jargon. A special language belonging
exclusively to a group, often a profession. Engineers, lawyers, doctors,
tax analysts, and the like all use jargon to exchange complex information efficiently.
Jargon is often unintelligible to those outside the group that uses it."
Not all group members remember to avoid jargon when talking to people outside the group.
If you are on the outside looking in at the people that will not explain in plain english you could well consider jargon as a bad thing.
Yes.
