A big part of plain English is writing in a conversational tone – kinda like how people talk. Here’s four steps to help you in to your next “conversation”…
1.Create a firm image of a typical member of your audience – a hairdresser, a lawyer, your boss.
2.Don’t overthink it. Let it flow naturally.
3.Avoid jargon.
4.Read it aloud and ask yourself if it sounds like something you’d say…well does it?
