    I feel like I comment this like once a week but plain language, y’all. Learn it, push it down people’s throat. Force everyone you know to use it, especially if you work in any kind of writing environment. I’m done with academia, corporate, or other bullshit writing. We need accessibility.

    Ironically, the UN itself includes plain language in its definition of communication (in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities).

      “Plain language? Similar to the wording used by the filthy plebeians? Pah!”

      That also explains most countries’ stupid legalese in how laws are written.
