If a website meant for the general public uses industry-specific jargon and terminology, which POUR principle does this violate?

The principle that is violated when a website uses industry-specific jargon and terminology is Understandable. This principle emphasizes the need for content to be clear and straightforward so that all users, including those with different levels of expertise or familiarity with the subject matter, can easily comprehend the information being presented.

When a website employs jargon that is not widely recognized or understood by the general public, it creates a barrier to understanding. This can lead to confusion and frustration, particularly for users who may not have a background in that specific industry. Ensuring that the language used is inclusive and accessible helps all users navigate the content effectively, thereby meeting the criteria of the Understandable principle.
