I now know about plain English. Plain Eng¬¬¬lish will help me write in the future. The use of plain English does many things. First, it makes things easier for the audience to understand. This is a big part in any type of technical writing because the goal of technical writing is to communicate with another. Second, the document will appear much cleaner. Finally, positive feedback should comeback because of the positive language that I use.
There are several guidelines when writing in plain English. First, keep sentences short, second, use active verbs. Third, use appropriate vocabulary. Fourth, don’t be afraid to give instruction. Finally, use positive language.
