Use it at work

Know what they mean. Know what to ask next.

The point is not memorizing vocabulary. It is being able to follow the conversation and ask the next good question.

In the vendor call
When a supplier says their model is fine-tuned on your data, you know what that does and does not mean, and what to ask next.
In the roadmap review
When an engineer says the feature needs a bigger context window, you can tell whether that is a small change or a new cost line.
In the document you are writing
You use the words the way the people building it use them, so nobody has to translate what you meant.
