Yeah I suppose, but using random abbreviations everywhere does not make the point any clearer

When the abbreviations are so commonly used that you can ask Google or Siri and get the right answer, then it's fair to assume their meaning is clear to most people

You not knowing a term doesn't mean it isn't useful or important or crystal clear, it just means you don't know it.

So you could either educate yourself if you care, or don't, but don't try to frame the terms as the problem, or dismiss them (and by extension, the people who they apply to/benefit from their use) outright, that's just a cop-out on your end.
