Writing in plain English by Baden Eunson
Requirements: .PDF reader, 37 Mb
Overview: Plain English has become an important and controversial topic in the past few years. Although the idea means different things to different people, most would agree that plain English documents are those which are free of jargon and ambiguity. That is, plain English is clear and simple English, a style that allows communication with a large, rather than a restricted, audience.
This does not mean, however, that the plain English approach always involves choosing the shortest, simplest word or sentence: it is about choosing what is appropriate for the reader or readers, the purpose, and the context.
In this book we will examine the distortions in meaning that occur when writers employ jargon and other faulty approaches, such as unnecessary wordiness, use of words remote from everyday experience, and ambiguous or confusing expressions.
