Replying to @TimShnaider
I generally avoid vocabulary like "benign" when e.g. in a conversation with someone early in studying English but I am unlikely to consistently make the stylistic choice to optimize for accessibility over expressiveness when verbalizing my thoughts generally.

No judgment implied with respect to other stylistic preferences; the great thing about the Internet is that there's someone for everyone. I feel like there is little utility, and substantial disutility, in attempting to be that someone for everyone.
