Weird. I talk how I talk, to everyone. If I receive a look of puzzlement, I shift gears and use less "50 cent words", even though it often doesn't convey the message as well.

Of course, I worked in a high-tech professional environment. So the people I dealt with were well educated. A lot of my coworkers were Asian or Indian. We did have a few African-Americans, but not as many as I would expect based on US population demographics. Rarely did I have any issues communicating. I also had to write a lot of analysis reports, and used very technical/analytical jargon. But totally appropriate for the target audience (i.e. engineers who wanted to know the results).
