Klass Response
In Klass's article, she uses the experience of her mother, an outsider, and Mr. Eponym, a newbie insider, to help those outside of her discource community understand it. For example, when using medical jargon to her mother, her mother lets her know that she is not a member of the community. In the same essence, Mr. Eponym, someone who is a beginner is not expected to know it perfectly. It is important to have limitations on the discource community to ensure its exclusiveness and those characters illustrate that point.
