Thanks for those. I don't think lisguistic jargon is any more or less pretentious than any other technical field.
Not to mention fricative, labiodental, guttural, palatal, alveolar, velar, uvular, pharyngeal. The lexicon of linguistic terms is truly incomprehensible and pretentious. It's as if linguists want to make sure no one outside of linguistics can understand what they're talking about.
What about assimilation, dissimilation, metathesis, apocope, syncope, palatalization, declension?
