Jargon
Sometimes, as in the case of criminal argots, part of the function of special 
languages is deliberately to mislead and obstruct the rest of society and the 
authorities in particular; they may even become wholly impenetrable to outsiders.The efficacy of religious worship and of prayers is frequently associated with the 
strict maintenance of correct forms of language, taught by priests to their 
successors, lest the ritual become invalid.Indeed, one might regard the formulas of 
modern symbolic logic as the result of a consciously developed and specialized written language for making precise the relations of implication and inference
between statements that, when couched in everyday language, are inexact and open 
to misinterpretation.Among traditional sports, for example, tennis scores use the sequence love,
15, 30, 40, and game; cricketers verbally appeal to the umpire when a batsman may 
be out by calling "How's that?" and the ways of being out are designated 
by stereotypes, "run out," "leg before wicket," "stumped," and so forth.Professions whose members value their standing in society and are eager to render 
their services to the public foster their own vocabulary and usage, partly 
to enhance the dignity of their profession and the skills they represent but partly 
also to increase their efficiency.
