[@gabrielignetti6072]

Please try to use more common terminology. You don't reach working folks with all the wonk. Also you need to explain yourself more rather than assuming we all get it.

@@gabrielignetti6072 this isn’t wonk. When I use historical jargon here it is because it is specific to this group. Do not assume “working folks” are illiterate. There are nine episodes for context and this is primarily a singular text and this episode is mostly on the text. I am not “assuming”’you all get it. I assume you will ask what something means specifically. So what jargon do you not understand that I was mentioning from this text?

[@VarnVlog]

@@gabrielignetti6072 with this text and this group in specific- this gets difficult. The jargon in the text is translated from Italian and there are specific terms associated with it and we are looking for where they develop their specific meaning. I suspect it may be clearer in the original Italian.
