Certain fields are known for dense and unreadable content: engineering, the legal industry, and the government. There is a movement taking place in these fields. It’s called the Plain English movement. Plain English is about producing writing that your audience can digest as easily as possible. Some material is hard, Plain English won’t make quantum physics easier to understand. Still, it removes a barrier to understanding. Have you heard of the WordPress grammar checker, After the Deadline? It started as a Plain English style checker. This talk will cover Plain English, what it means, and how to use a tool like After the Deadline to write better. AtD has many options (all off by default) to help you with Plain English writing. This session will teach you how to get rid of passive voice and hidden verbs. You will learn to connect with your audience through simple writing.
