Anyway I know this is not an earth-shaking issue but my simple and no doubt, futile, plea to use the language the way it was meant to be used with simple, declarative sentences and a minimum of jargon
You've got my vote; however, I do understand the need for some people to inculcate jargon. It makes them feel like they're fitting in, as with the repetition of insider jokes.

Communities create language. Freeper talk is. It exist. It is. All your bases belong.
