I’m not going to jump down your throat for suggesting AI, but I’ll mention that Wikipedia often has a “Simple English” link in the Languages section that’s a godsend for ESL people and scientific/academic subjects for lay people.

Hrmm.

I’m not an academic. I’m an engineer. I’m guessing academic jargon is similar to technical jargon.

Yesterday I heard the price of “memory” was going up and was left to wonder if that is RAM, SSD, HDD, EEPROM, FRAM, NOR data flash, …

And pictured the news presenter saying “shut up, nerd!”

I pity psychologists. Imagine how many people want to chew their ear off about narcissism, emotional labor, gaslighting, or whatever self-help pop psychologists are grifting about today.

Mary Shelley was married to Percy Shelley, a famous poet.

Which doesn’t demean Mary Shelley’s accomplishments, regardless.

And what if we swapped the genders?

You could do the same to Mileva Marić but that would make you an asshole.
