What is plain English?
"Plain English is clear, straightforward expression, using only as many words as are necessary. It is not baby talk, nor is it a simplified version of the English language. Writers of plain English let their audience concentrate on the message instead of being distracted by complicated language. They make sure that their audience understands the message easily." - Professor Robert Eagleson
