By using plain language, we send a clear message about what the Government is doing, what it requires, and what services it offers. Plain language saves the Government and the private sector time, effort, and money." The Plain English Network Plain language can be understood by YOUR reader at first reading. It doesn't mean writing for a certain grade level - it means organizing and writing for your reader. Writing in plain language saves time and money for writers and readers. Introducing Plain Language Plain language matches the needs of the reader with your needs as a writer, resulting in effective and efficient communication. It is effective because the reader can understand the message. It is efficient because the reader can read and understand the message the first time. Also: LegalWriting.net Plain language produces clear, concise, and readable documents And then for no reason ,other than most writing is twaddle, here's a review of: How Mumbo-jumbo Conquered the World: A Short History of Modern Delusions by Francis Wheen.
