I read both of your books, and if they weren’t explain good, i wouldn’t understand DOM & Ajax like i do now. I am a developer but with a poor experience in OOP. I prefer explanations with examples. In my opinion is the best way to learn. I do not use js to do fancy stuff but necessary things. I really like the way DOM Scripting was written & Bulletproof Ajax, i hope to find books like this, but not everyone is capable of doing such a good work. I learned a lot and fast from this books, i can not say that about all the boos I’ve read. So, not everybody are good on teaching others, even if they are gurus so to say…

As a relative newbie I find lots of people make assumptions about how much you know and it’s hard to learn when all the tutorials you find are aimed at experts. Javascript is becoming more and more popular and not everybody comes from an OO background.

No, Jeremy is not a fan, he’s a property and a method.

Well to be perfectly honest I would rather have you divulge and explain yourself than get too caught up in terms. Yes, many of them should be plainly understood (I mean your not going pay any attention what-so-ever if you if you not in this field) however sometimes its nice to know that people still speak normal and aren’t completely saturated with lingo that "doesn’t deserve explanation". So as for my vote keep explaining because it actually comes across as being normal and attracts a wider array of listeners and not just the "guru’s so to speak.
