When you refer to the GPL for example, it say a lot of things to someone who understand what it is. It tells me that this program is open source, and in three letters tells me exactly what my rights are in terms of modification and distribution. It would take a lot of space and time to explain that every time the license was used. When someone doesn’t know what it is, they can either ignore it as you mentioned, or they can look it up. Once you’ve learned what it is once, you’ll understand the term from there onwards. The fact is, that open source software is a technical subject. You wouldn’t expect to learn about a topic like chemistry or even blogging without picking up a few new phrases, and I don’t see why this should be any different.

Definitely for newbie of old people it is hard to work with them. But technology is improving day by day. In this case they can just ignore the subject or explore them as you said. Anyway nice post.

I'm switching to Linux Mint this week and I like it a lot more than Ubuntu even though I've been using Ubuntu a long time and have only just seen Mint.

A personalized glossary plugin that offers a definition in a mouse-over window could easily handle the geek-speak and acronyms.

It was a bit sad at first, but i couldn’t blame them for learning that version, as it’s all over the media. All i could do was try to un-sully their accents! When someone doesn’t know what it is, they can either ignore it as you mentioned, or they can look it up. Once you’ve learned what it is once, you’ll understand the term from there onwards. Thanks.
