<p>> In English this type of specialist langauge is called
“jargon” (which also has negative meanings).</p>
<p>Amanda, in French too, including the possible negative meaning

<p>You can also make two versions, that way you help people to learn
idioms and metaphors ;-).</p>

<p>Or more specifically here simple English. Simple English is a
Wikipedia language: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/">https://simple.wikipedia.org/</a><br>
</p>
<p>As the targeted audience is OpenStreetMap contributors from all
over the world, you have to expect very different language skills
in very different languages.</p>
<p>So you have several possibilities, use jargon or use simple words
to make it clear to a wider audience.</p>
<p>After some months spent in UK as I came back to France I was
asked to "lower" my level in English in order to be understood by
my colleagues. Nothing wrong with that.<br>
</p>
<p>As using a "deadname", I fully understand why for Amanda it's an
important issue. Nevertheless if I use her previous name
inadvertently, maybe because it's about something she did some
time ago, there is - for me - nothing wrong with that, it would
be a mistake not an offence. As long as made in good faith, we can
apologize.</p>
<p>If it's used to put her in a bad mood or against LGBTQ+ people,
it's very bad.</p>
<p>But it's not specific to LGBTQ+, you can do the same against
women, men, people with a different colour, fat or thin people,
hair color, religion or whatsoever. </p>
<p>Basically it's about human rights, and I've good news for us, no
need for jargon, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights exists
since 1948 and has been translated in over 500 languages.<br>
</p>

<p>For instance instead of saying LGBTQ+, we can say gender
discrimination It includes LGBTQ+. Add a footnote if you think
it's better to be more specific, saying that by gender, initial
gender, felt gender, current gender or whatsoever is meant. <br>
</p>
<p>A code of conduct can be written in a way that most people having
a basic knowledge of, let say, English will get it:<br>

While being understandable by kids, no highly educated people
would have trouble understanding this, would they? Otherwise it
would be discrimination against highly educated people. Usually
it's the opposite!<br>

<p>Good example of simple words.</p>
<p>If you use jargon, you may use it as a weapon. Not in good faith?
Right but will have the targeted person the languages skills
needed to understand that it's not made in good faith. And of
course "you" will pretend it's made in good faith.</p>
<p>KISS</p>
<p>Jean-Yvon (BTW Jean is a female first name in English but a male
one in French, so some people use the wrong gender to address me
then apologize, my answer is that they don't have apologize, it's
a mistake not an insult).<br>
