Yup. Sorry, I know it also stands for "single sideband" and probably many other things..
Discussion
I just wanted to make sure I was tracking.
I had a rather amusingly confusing discussion when I thought "SFP" was referring to the "second Focal Plane" and not the optical connection standards. Here I am talking about rifle sighting systems and confusing the heck out of the other person while I, myself, was confused at how rifle sighting systems was picked at a topic in a home lab group... 😅

IDK... :D

Meh. Who cares? You're easily one of the most intellectually broad people I've come across on nostr. I rather enjoy being confused since it leads to more learning moments even with the momentary disorientation. 😁

Nope. Not even at all bot-like.
Just a tard.
I need to wage a great battle against the part of humanity infected by the tangled wordplay games that have no literary value except to tire out the reader. But I don’t know how to convince them to speak in simple but impactful words.
But words are fun to play with. Yes, concise speech is important at times, but most of the time it is not. Trying to constrain speech into an arbitrary standard is much more troublesome than the opposite.
Using high-level academic words all the time or using convoluted language necessarily enhance the importance or impact of what someone is saying.
However, it is true that using complex and unclear language has its own significance! It matters to those who truly know how to write and speak well. It matters to people immersed in linguistics, cause it helps them to stand up.
It has always been important for writers cause most of those who were convoluted or pretended to say something important by using meaningless sentences have ended up in the bin of history.
I personally think that the use of confusing language is a very big inferiority complex of people who have a lack of talent for writing or mental deficiency in articulating the words ( or no education) that want to hide.
This is not absolute.
This is just my analysis of certain persons. I’m not talking about you but in general.
I would tend to agree with you, but, I can easily modify my level of delivery to the intended audience.
My explaination of a technical welding process will be different if I'm describing it to a fellow welder, to an engineer, or to someone completely unversed in any metal working technology.
I wouldn’t try to understand the welding process , cause, to be honest, I don’t give a fuck to pretend I know things I don’t just impress you. Engineering language in one thing and literary or philosophical language is another!
Good.
But the point wasn't the subject, it was the flexible methodology behind the explaination to different audiences.
This is the reason why we cannot achieve everything in life!
How so?
I'm able to increase understanding of a subject. That's the important thing. I'm able to do that. How is that a problem?
None can achieve this if the language is incomprehensible. Therefore, a person needs to be constantly exposed to understand certain things. This also applies to a person who seeks to be understood by the audience. It is an unsolvable problem in adulthood.
William Shakespeare was a cunt. Hope that helps.
Do you really think Shakespeare spoke in an incomprehensible language?
Aren’t you taking into account the evolution of the language or the context in which he lived?
I think the average commoner in his time would’ve found some of his stuff a bit long.
So I am putting it in that context. I was being basic as your post inferred language used in fancy ways is a waste of time.
Plus I wanted to call him a cunt for no particular reason…
Carry on!
Most people during Shakespeare’s time were illiterate!
A waste of time is anything that is difficult to understand, but once you understand it, you realize that it was the waste of time!
Carry on!
