How to be a better reviewer— tips on questions to ask your content authors, and things to remember when providing feedback:
#Jargon is unnecessarily complicated language used to impress, rather than to inform, your audience. See @govplainlang's #PlainLanguage resources on the subject:
- Keep it Jargon-free https://t.co/KKbd7QLlUo

Even employees in your own organization often don’t understand its abbreviations and acronyms. Use #PlainLanguage. Joanne Short @USPS #ClearCommunication. #PlainLanguageSummit
Takeaway from the @USGAO at #PlainLanguageSummit - User testing is critical, you should test your products with people you want to read and use your work
#ClearCommunication shows bottom-line figures, is brief (650 characters), uses #PlainLanguage, and has engaging visuals. Make it smartphone friendly, too. Eden Savino and Melanie Fallow of @USGAO at today’s #PlainLanguageSummit.
U.S. Government Accountability Office used brevity to show the public how it saved money and improved. It changed its wordy landing page to #FastFacts using #PlainLanguage. Eden Savino and Melanie Fallow of @USGAO at today’s #PlainLanguageSummit.
#PlainLanguageSummit. Our next speakers, at 2:15 pm ET, discuss Getting GAO’s Message Across in the Digital Age. Eden Savino and Melanie Fallow of @USGAO explain how using #FastFacts and #PlainLanguage in #writing avoids #jargon and leads to #ClearCommunication.
#Science #writing about #weather. When you change technical terms into #PlainLanguage, you might also need to consolidate your message and reformat it. Danielle Nagele of @NOAA at today’s #PlainLanguageSummit.
Use #PlainLanguage to define weather terms—Watch, Warning, Advisory, and Special Weather Statement—so the public clearly understands what each means. #ClearCommunication in emergencies @NWS. #science #writing. Danielle Nagele of @NOAA at today’s #PlainLanguageSummit.
Don’t ask a subject-matter expert for advice on where to put definitions on your #web page. See what your users need and where they are likely to look. Use #PlainLanguage definitions. Alison Kohler from @USGSA at #PlainLanguageSummit.
Online #Glossaries and #Web #Writing. Look at a report of top query terms from your “Search” page to understand what information users need. Explain them in #PlainLanguage. Alison Kohler from @USGSA at #PlainLanguageSummit.
Online #Glossaries. #Writing for the #web in #PlainLanguage. Put each definition on the page users are reading to keep them on that page so they don’t navigate away. Alison Kohler from @USGSA at #PlainLanguageSummit.
Is an online glossary a possibility for your website? It can serve various language levels: #Jargon, #TechnicalLanguage, #Slang. Think about Paperwork Reduction Act, too. Alison Kohler from @USGSA at #PlainLanguageSummit.
