My tutor at University talked in academic speak constantly (he was the only one) and when I spoke to him I couldn't get Basil Fawlty saying "Why don't you talk properly" out of my mind.
As for the dentist argument, do you mean a dentist talking to another dentist? Because if my dentist spoke to me in technical jargon I'd be tempted to say "Why don't you talk properly".
