Yep, I run into that still with my engineers. "Everyone knows what that is." "I'm someone, and I don't know what that is." "Well, anyone with a PhD in the field knows this." "Humor me.  Not everyone who buys our software is a PhD in your experimental field.   I can put it in a glossary, just in case." My big pet peeve:  'dimensionless units.'   How do you measure something in zero dimensions? :P

Of course, it's entertainingly dangerous when my department goes out for lunch somewhere. First person to catch a typo in the menu gets to pick the table's appetizers. Weirdest menu item:  'Half a heart sandwich,'  barely beating out 'Evil jungle printze.'  and 'Stake sandwich.'

Sometimes I feel like I'm being lazy by doing less writing than I did in the beginning, but I'm kinda more in the edit/teach mode these days because there are a lot more editors than back when it would take several days for a quest description to go up....
