Whether you are a private, not-for-profit, or government organization plain English is your 911 for enhancing understanding and improving your cost/benefit (…not to mention saving your customers from death by techno-babble, med-speak, corporate mumbojumbo, or just good old-fashioned boredom).
In today’s world of information overload, whether your target group is the public, a professional target group, or your employees—low or high literacy—plain English is a writing style that makes sure they are able to find the information they need, understand it, and use it to meet their needs. No frustration. No negative word-of-mouth. No brand switching. No in-the-red rather than black.
By focusing on your target group’s literacy level, reading ability, and topic knowledge, plain English is your competitive weapon to taking a stand with your organization’s unique point of view. Make an impact while saving time, money, and even lives.
