Computer terms 'confuse workers' -- Most office workers find computer jargon as difficult to understand as a foreign language, a survey suggests.
Three quarters of workers waste more than an hour a week deciphering what a technical term means, the poll found.
Terms such as jpeg, javascript and cookies are among the problem words highlighted by firm Computer People.
(The survey) also points to problems which regularly leave workers BAFFLED.
