*Is it an exaggeration to say that "All the King's Men" was a thinly veiled account of Huey Long's rise to power and his assassination?*

[@Gertrudesdiddy]

I am taking a course in leadership and management right now and they use the term "modules" in the course.
Why not just say section, or any other other synonym? It seems extremely pretentious and turns me off from wanting to learn.

[@thehighlightsreel953]

That's your biggest complaint about academic jargon?

[@519djw6]

Yes. When I went to graduate school, they started using the term "modules," which seemed to me as if I were studying in some kind of "pod." When I was an undergrad, they never used that term.
