That could easily be my bad. It's not a conscious decision, but I come from a pretty well educated family and a byproduct of that is having a pretty flexible vocabulary. I genuinely don't know when I'm using words that I can't expect other people to know. I just go about my writing using the clearest, most appropriate word choice for what I'm trying to say.

On one hand, I like to think that it's a good thing, since the best way to improve a person's vocabulary is to expose them to new words in an understandable context. On the other hand, though, I don't want the article to be strenuous to read because of that. So, if you've picked out any terms that are particularly hard-done, by all means point them out. I can try to find a suitable synonym or at least put in an AKA.
