I agree we should try using accessible language (when it doesnât compromise our message). It makes our ideas more easily spread to people from various backgrounds (e.g. not just tech people), non-native English speakers, younger people, etc.
I think itâd be great if more EA orgs made this an official part of their style guides/âvoice guidelines/âsimilar. Was just thinking about this again when I was reading an 80k piece (https://ââ80000hours.org/ââ2023/ââ05/ââmoderation-in-doing-good/ââ) that used the term âsandboxesâ, when âtest environmentâ is probably clearer to a wider audience.
