You are saying this off the top of your head, and you can't prove it.
Demonstrate that "academic jargon" (as you define it) has appeared in any substantial number of posts on a given day.
Then demostrate that the academic jargon is indeed a special jargon.
I don't think you can do it. And I don't think you had anything in mind when you wrote this post. You are just going along with the mindless assumption that of course if people have degrees they use a special language.
Prove it. Or admit that you were slandering several 10s of thousands of people.
