Writing plainly means choosing words and sentence structures your readers can easily read, understand and use – information that is designed with their needs in mind. But plain language is about more than just simplicity — it’s also about honesty and clarity. A plain language document must give readers accurate, complete, and useful information. That means being upfront, leaving nothing important out, and avoiding confusing or misleading wording. There is no room for half-truths, vagueness, deliberate ambiguity, or obscured meanings. Readers should be able to trust what they’re reading and clearly understand what it means. Writing this way shows respect for your audience and helps them make informed decisions. In all government and business communication, plain language supports transparency, accountability, and better outcomes for everyone.
