From a business point of view: I find that if I'm talking with SMEs, everyday English is what they like. If I'm talking with people from large organisations, they seem to like geek-speak.

So in our attempts to "be real" we should avoid dumbing down what we are trying to communicate. The most important thing when communicating is to know you audience and meet them where they are at.

I love this! it's so true too; it can be really intimidating when someone starts talking over your head and you're trying so hard to follow them. One thing I value in a person: he or she may speak over my head, but is willing to break it down for me when I ask. haha!

We are more successful in our contribution when we strengthen our ability to communicate what we know (usually that is what is obvious to us “geeks”). It is a push for promoting collaboration. I experienced this heavily right after College and 10 years later, it is still a challenge. "Shut Up and Listen" sounds like a great start.
