[Lady Dedlock] supposes herself to be an inscrutable Being quite out of the reach and ken of ordinary mortals—seeing herself in her glass, where indeed she looks so. Yet, every dim little star revolving about her, from her maid to the manager of the Italian Opera, knows her weaknesses,
prejudices, follies, haughtinesses, and caprices; and lives upon as accurate a calculation and as nice a measure of her moral nature, as her
dress-maker takes of her physical proportions. Is a new dress, a new custom, a new singer, a new dancer, a new form of jewellery ... a new chapel,
a new anything to be set up? There are deferential people, in a dozen callings, whom my Lady Dedlock suspects of nothing but prostration before
her, who can tell you how to manage her as if she were a baby, who do nothing but nurse her all their lives; who, humbly affecting to follow with
profound subservience, lead her and her whole troop after them.
(from Bleak House by Charles Dickens)

Why does the author's description of the mercury boiler—"the mercury, when vaporized, going into a mercury turbine and then into a condenser, remaining hot enough to generate steam in a steam boiler"—intentionally incorporate such highly technical language? using technical language establishes the expertise of the writer and convey the complex nature of the process being described. using technical language allows the writer to subtly poke fun at those who seek to make basic processes seem overly complicated. using technical language encourages readers to develop deeper and more meaningful personal connections to the information. using technical language lets the writer make clear to readers that the article is intended for readers who are themselves experts on electricity.
