Editing for plain language is often a humbling exercise. No matter how much we think we’re streamlining the structure and clarifying the language, user testing consistently shows us there’s room for improvement.
Happy International Plain Language Week!
October 13 to 18 is International Plain Language Week!
Whatever you’re writing right now—email, report, manual, web page, or some other informational document—think of how you can make it easier for your readers to find, understand, and use the information you’re sharing.
And as a reader, know that you have a right to understand the information you’re asked to read and use.
Plain language helps everyone. Spread the word! #IPLWeek
