If they are no wiser when you tell them it means pertinent, I
should give up.

Personally, I like to use interesting language when I can, and
used to be constantly surprised by the limited vocabulary of some
of my colleagues, all of whom were qualified to at least degree
standard.

If you can't use or understand the subtleties of the language,
how is it possible to convey your thoughts effectively?
