No doubt, you have heard many folks harp on about the virtues of plain writing. I can嚙緣 say I blame them. If everyone wrote in such plain, easy-to-read manner, after all, we嚙範 have considerably much less confusion in the world. No kidding.
Can you imagine how convenient it will be to finally go through a contract that was written with simple language like a magazine piece? How about government forms that was as easy to read as the surveys in Cosmo? If everything was written in plain English, there will hardly be cause for confusion in most written documents, as the case is now.
Plain writing, for most people, is really hard to achieve. Why? It is because not all are manageable when it comes to dealing their own ideas and writing it all down to their current writing assignments. When ideas starts flowing out of your mind about the writing subject you have for your next task, you can嚙緣 help it but to include all of those thoughts within any of your contents. And without even knowing that some of these are not really necessary yet you fail to crash it all out which results to a very confusing writing piece.
Most people appreciate plain written contents just because the topic is direct to the point and it gradually catches their attention. Always remember that not all readers spend most of their time reading longer and elaborated passages knowing that the main point can be written in just a number of sentences.
Plain writing doesn嚙緣 mean you have to cut your writing down to make it short and simple. Sometimes, you need to write base on your reader嚙編 viewpoint about the topic. Knowing what catches your reader嚙編 attention can help you to create an interesting concept for your writing subject and for them to understand and value your work.
It may sound like it needs a lot of work but to tell you honestly, choosing the right words in order to state all your ideas within your content really matters. With the right kind of words in your writing, you don嚙緣 need to include any excess words and insignificant ideas when you are done writing the first draft. To help you notice this mistake, you can always review your work and check it thoroughly for you to achieve a plain writing result.
If you examined all materials written with the plain writing mindset, you will notice six qualities that stand out.
1. There is a clear statement of purpose.
2. It has well-organized major points.
3. It uses headings and lists to highlight important points.
4. Shorts sentences and paragraphs are employed.
5. It avoids jargon and specialized terms.
6. There嚙編 an overwhelming focus on expression, rather than attempts to impress.
Mindfully writing using plain language, coupled with an effective grammar software, is literally all you need to communicate clear ideas in any type of document. We suggest using that combination as a starting point for your own work.
