I have no idea what non-native english speakers know about various jargons of
english, and I don't think it's fair to presumptively patronize anyone by
dumbing down the use of technical jargon.

I've seen iff used by math/science types in and since college. Note that Andrei
learned english rather late in life, and he's the author of some of those
instances.

If there are terms someone isn't familiar with, there's no harm in asking.
We're happy to help.
