Using a language that is similar to discussion on mailing lists should be perfectly OK, as long as the colloquial expressions can still be googled easily, for those not familiar with them. I have to google Dilberts and xkcd every once in a while, an those sometimes contain very "local" expressions that are really difficult to find -- and still I'm OK with this. -Martin
