I guess that for some LW jargon there already are precise terms, but for other LW jargon there are not. Or sometimes there is a term that means something similar, but can also be misleading. Still, it could be good to reduce the unnecessary jargon.
How to do it? Perhaps by making this a separate topic -- find the equivalents to LW jargon, disuss whether they really mean the same thing, and if yes, propose using the traditional expression.
What I am saying here is that (1) merely saying "there are precise terms" is not helpful without specific examples, and (2) each term should be discussed, because it may seem like the same thing to one person, but another person may find a difference.
