Based on responses to post by TGMers on other forums, you are probably right. Even the terms when spelled out can be confusing to those who have no or limited exposure based on responses in various threads.
I like having both the 'english' version and the terms, abbr. and references. Helps me learn and remember them better.
Only the "hardcores" will delve deeper....(although I still can't completely agree with being COMPLETELY turned off...i.e. "well I'm just a feel player"....it happens tho....I don't get it but w/e maybe I'm different).
I always try to explain myself in normal terms so everyone can understand.....
Although sometimes it's too too too much easier to use TGM language....
Once you know it....you really can't avoid using it when it's an option.....it's just too efficient....
(although I can't remember the last time I responded by using the reference numbers too much, or even exclusively- 6-B-1-D, etc.)
