3. Budget
There’s NO need to use plain language for everything you write—only those times when you must be clear and understood.
No one suggests that plain language should replace all other types of writing.
And, you don’t need to write so EVERY person can understand it. That’s not the goal. You only need to write so your READER understands.
If you reader understands jargon, then use it because it’s plain language to that reader.
Perhaps the easiest guidance is “to write the way you speak!” 3
