Eleven terms used for four years without ever being defined
The eleven
Mostly land tenure vocabulary: messuage, toft, croft, and eight others. All ordinary in the field and meaningless outside it.
What changes
A short definition on first use in each piece, and a glossary link. Not a footnote, because nobody reads footnotes.
What does not
The vocabulary itself. Replacing precise terms with vague ones would make the writing worse rather than clearer.
