bendableHelp me understand Vernacular stuff
I.i.u.c.
Vernacular is the way people talk or express themselves verbally.
Would the sentence
I don't like their Vernacular be acceptable ?
Or
Their Vernacular makes it difficult for me to comprehend the message.
Or
I can't appreciate their position or opinion because of this person's Vernacular.
Or
I reacted the way I did because I misinterpreted the message because of the Vernacular.
Is any of these wrong , inappropriate or incorrect?
I am trying to learn something in 2024
Thanks in advance for any attention you choose to give this.

arfmelI believe the usages you’ve mentioned have become part of our modern uh, vernacular. I don’t think you need feel any concern about them. I freely admit I could be technically wrong.

4MUL8RYour example sentences make sense.
Is it necessary to use a word (vernacular) that few understand to say what you mean?
"Their word choice makes it difficult for me to understand their meaning."
"I can't appreciate their opinion because the words they used are so unusual."
"I reacted in part as I misinterpreted their position because of words and idioms they used in their message."

bendableNo, not essential.
Your suggestion looks good as well.
So, the term is not considered to be a perjoiritive of any kind ?

I don't think it has an overtly pejorative meaning.
The definition is the language or dialect spoken in a region or among a paricular group.
The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. March 13, 2024, 09:54 AM
pace40Just pointing out, vernacular means something entirely different to an architect.

bendableInteresting,
I checked it out.
Same thing only different.
Instead of word usage, sentence structure and phrasing indigenous to a particular area or region,
It's construction materials and design to the area

Chris42Pick your words to fit your group. I have three college degrees (in Education) and have never used the word vernacular.
Use it in where it is not common and you will appear to be talking down to the group.
Certainly if you hear it frequently then use it.

FiveFiveSixFanPerhaps jargon would be a suitable, more familiar substitute?
