Has someone ever put you off with a “bunch of technical jargon?” Or have you ever wondered what the word “jargon” means? “Jargon” may also be called “technical jargon”, because it refers to technical words and expressions which people of a particular trade or profession will understand, but others won’t.<\/p>\n

The use of jargon often causes people to react “break it down please” or “put it in layman’s term please”.<\/p>\n

Not everyone who speaks jargon understands everyone else’s jargon. A lawyer has his own jargon and so does a doctor. IT professionals of varying fields also have varying jargon; and each jargon may sound gibberish to the other.<\/p>\n

The following email which I sent to the technical support of my web host is full of jargon. If you’re in the field of web design or development, you may understand much of the expressions inside. However, if you’re not, most of it may sound like jargon<\/em> or technical jargon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dear Sir\/Madam:\r\n\r\n\r\nI did a reupload of my files recently, for \r\nwww.platinumrecipescollection.com, and found \r\nthat the website is no longer reading the .inc files. \r\nThe .inc files, containted in the .inc folders, \r\ncontain google adsense codes and other menu \r\nitems that all of the site's 100,000 + pages \r\nreferences.\r\n\r\n\r\nSince my website was built in .html, \r\nI was advised to add a line of \r\ncode to the .htaccess file to make it read as \r\nthough it is .php. The line of code is:\r\n\r\n\r\nAddType application\/x-httpd-php .html\r\n\r\n\r\nHowever, I was forced to remove this code \r\nbecause I noticed that it \r\nwas causing my webpage to download \r\ninstead of load on the browser.\r\n\r\n\r\nAlso, I remember being told that I do not \r\nneed to add that code \r\nanymore because you tweak \r\nsomething on your backend to make my \r\npages read like .php \r\nwithout me having to add any code to \r\nthe .htaccess.\r\n\r\n\r\nPlease work on this as soon as \r\npossible as the .inc files, \r\ncontained in the .inc folders, \r\ncontain many crucial \r\ncodes that need to \r\nrun across all pages.\r\n\r\n\r\nThanking you in advance for a timely \r\nand favorable response.\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
