Jargon

Specialist words or terms that are used to help professionals reduce the chance of confusion and increase efficiency of communication with each other. The use of jargon can be a cause of confusion to newcomers and people not involved with the specialist field. There is a lot of jargon used within the groundskeeping industry and this is needed to ensure correct practices and processes are undertaken for given situations. However, and unfortunately, the use of jargon can be misunderstood especially where it is communicated by those without an appropriate background in the science of turfculture.
