What bothers me the most is the language is composed like a technical manual about the diametrics of astrally projected carbon theorums squared (Of COURSE I just made that up) and not koine English (Can I use that phrae ?)

I can (and do) fully appreciate a command of English and a large vocabulary, but when we speak or write, we should strive to inform rather than confuse

Same here. Sometimes a simple colloquialism like "bullshit" is entirely sufficient and appropriate.
