My commitee complain that it is far too chatty and easy to read.   It needs a 
much heavier dose of theory.

As for the rest of 'us'.
    We *don't* get by with regular English.  It must have taken me nine 
months to get a decent approximation of what marketeers mean by "channel" and 
I still don't have a nuanced grasp of the concept.

I can't even begin to read biology and chemistry papers in Science, people 
accept that.   

As for 'alterity': it is a term that a sophmore or junior in anthropology or 
sociology should be able to use competently.
