#in learning html i think that codecademy broke it down very nicely in a genuine beginners way that i could understand

Why does every tutorial I keep seeing for learning how to make an animation "for beginners" NEVER talk about terminology or what words mean. Like yeah, I know onionskin, smears, and framerate and that level, but the video doesn't say it, what if someone who truly didn't know anything or where to start saw this and felt confused. I think that's an inherent flaw of tutorials of any kind, teaching you how to do something without explaining why or what things are. The assumption that you're not really a beginner at all.
