If it's meeting attendees one is worried about, I'd have thought that having
common colloquialisms in the document would be a feature, not a bug - people
would meet them while facing a computer upon which they could look them up at
their leisure, not in a live (and likely fast-moving) conversation.

Having said that, I think both sides have decent points, and personally don't
have any strong preference.
