I'm not suggesting that we make this a mandated LessWrong policy, but I think it may be fun to play with personally ~i4. I imagine that something more sensical would be created after some thought and work ~i2.

Also it could make a lot of sense for an organization to accept a standard like this rather than a blog community. For instance, many startups or EA orgs already use a lot of internal jargon ~e3i2, so something like this doesn't seem like a clear negative in that light ~i2.

Concerning the appearance aspect, it may be possible to hide the phrases (similar to the markdown mention earlier) with a small symbol that one could "inspect" when interested.
