It's only people make the bit in the middle complicated. So why make it any more complicated by using jargon that most people don't understand and don't want to hear in the first place. I firmly believe that the best jargon was invented by the judicary to keep it an elite society. KISS - Keep it Simple Stupid for heavens sake we are all only passing through on one way tickets.

Our skill is supposed to be the generation of clear and well organised spaces, beautiful to be in. We also as a profession have this perception of being overly aloof, using unesessary language and overly abstract 'notions' (said with a kerry accent) Conveying in drawn form can also lead to misunderstanding as most people are not used to reading drawings and other media.
