Discussion: Plain language for technical documentation
Entries
Plain language guidelines were written for general audiences; for expert readers, the precise technical term is shorter and less ambiguous than its plain paraphrase, and short sentences can fragment a nuanced condition into pieces that are individually clear but jointly misleading. The article should scope the advice: plain structure always, plain vocabulary only where the audience is not expert.
