Plain language writing is an approach to writing rather than a set of rules for grammar or construction. It involves organizing written information in ways that make sense to the reader, using straightforward, concrete, familiar words. A plain language writer uses vocabulary that matches the reading levels of the people who are likely to read the document.
"...Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think"
