Just to be clear, I use the term mansplain here to mean to explain something down to its atomic elements WITHOUT assuming the reader is an expert
Perhaps I should use #condesplaining to be gender neutral:https://twitter.com/vmbrasseur/status/1017525593057816576?s=20 …

Would be good to have a term that emphasises FULLY explaning something in a well rounded manner -- I would avoid "mansplain" though, the term would distract from your intended use till the end of days. "Condes.." (patronizing superiority) also not good.

I think 'splaining has to be from somebody who knows less to somebody who knows more. Otherwise the terms loses the original meaning.

I know - twitter isn't always very nice :). Perhaps I haven't explained it fully in my original tweet, but I support it in STATIC ACADEMIC pieces only w/o any interaction with reader:https://twitter.com/raamana_/status/1152984886850064384?s=20 …

Pradeep Reddy @raamana_Replying to @aina_puceI understand. Hence I clarify that I use it to mean to explain something down to its atomic elements WITHOUT assuming the reader (me) is an expert! :) I support it only in static academic writing, not twitter or real-world, where U can interact w/ reader1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
what do you mean by "static academic pieces only w/o any interaction with reader" ?

academic --> complex interdisciplinary research static --> PDFs, that won't let you chat with authors unlike twitter, where comments are not so complex, and you can ask for explanations if need be.

I think it's close to what some call a "hidden curriculum" or "context collapse"?
