I support using plain English in writing. I started to practise writing in plain English for some time. Here are the main ways to make writing clearer:
- Keep your sentences short
- Prefer active verbs
- Use ‘you’ and ‘we’
- Choose words appropriate for the reader
- Don’t be afraid to give instructions
- Avoid nominalisations
- Use positive language
- Use lists where appropriate
Take a look at this website: Plain English Campaign. You can appreciate the values and benefits of using plain English. If you do not know what plain English is, read the Free guides on How to write in plain English.
