I mean it's not a problem. I'm just letting you know that if you use a technical term instead of the colloquial one in a casual conversation on an unrelated topic, to me it reads less like "we can extrapolate" and more like "I'm using this word specifically because I want to extrapolate". Not bad per se, cuz idk maybe someone will figure out they love in-ears from this thread. But def that's my first interpretretation when i read something like iem in a post about airplanes.

Edit ps: I also love how everyone is responding to this with their distro ๐Ÿ˜‚ optimal response
