Understanding Jargon in Email Communications
Summary
Every day, we use specialized language known as jargon, especially in professional settings.
Article
You might not notice it, but specialized vocabulary, or jargon, is a part of your everyday communication, particularly at work. Jargon includes technical terms, abbreviations, and acronyms specific to your company, industry, or role, like those in marketing or insurance.
The challenge with jargon is that it’s often only understood within certain groups. While technical terms may be suitable for internal emails, they can confuse customers or outsiders.
Know Your Audience
When deciding on using jargon, always consider your audience. Ask yourself: Is this reader familiar with these terms? If uncertain, avoid abbreviations and spell things out.
Remember, jargon isn't just job-related. If you’re emailing someone outside your industry, review your message to remove potentially confusing terms.
Examples
Here are different responses to the question, "Where do you work?" using various jargons:
1. To a Colleague in the Same Department:
- "I work in CRT."
- (Customer Resource Team)
2. To Someone in the Same Company:
- "I work for HLICO."
- (Happy Life Insurance Company)
3. To Someone Outside the Industry:
- "I work for an insurance company."
4. To a Young Child:
- "I help people save money today so they can buy candy bars and ice cream later."
It’s crucial to remember that your workplace language is unique. Using it with the wrong person might confuse or embarrass them. You want to avoid appearing condescending to customers or coworkers.
Conclusion
Be mindful of when and where jargon is appropriate. Understanding this difference leads to more effective communication.
