@yatil Do you happen to know what evidence sources they relied on for that? In #ReadabilityGuidelines in favour of sentence case we cited ‘Case alternation impairs word identification’ Coltheart, M. and Freeman, R. 2013 https://t.co/c5yyQeBifA.
@CakeContent I thought you did a fantastic job driving, galvanising people, nurturing and producing the #ReadabilityGuidelines
@JK1440 Although it doesn’t make a specific point on it, Google dev site uses sentence case for good title examples.

I’d be interested in any user research study evidence you collect though, as when I led #ReadabilityGuidelines the research focused on body text.
Used more than ever too - over 1,000 searches last week 🤓#readabilityguidelines
It was great to have the opportunity to work on guidance that is used improves content #readability daily.
Citing over 200 usability evidence sources, it shares those findings in a clear, concise, accessible style.
Lovely to be recognised for my involvement in the collaborative #ReadabilityGuidelines project from Content Design London.
For those who don’t know, I wrote every one of the guidelines, following discussions of usability evidence on each topic, and managed a global community. 😊

@straygoat @danhowarth @LauraParkerUX @CuriousScutter You can always do both, use the specialist term for users who’ll know it, and explain it in clear lang after. That’s what we came down on with the #ReadabilityGuidelines on specialist terms.
The job of a content designer is partly to minimize cognitive load on users, especially where a situation is stressful, as this is. It’s not hard to find the #readabilityguidelines and apply them here. But they didn’t do a cognitive load test either because they’re cheap af
I'd like a bigger push for readability in the places you seldom find it; terms & conditions, research studies; policy papers, and reports for example. My top tip: how would you explain this to a smart 12 year old? #editing #copywriting #comms #readabilityguidelines #WorldBookDay
@merylkevans @feather We use this for high-ten: 🙌🏼. We often consult the #ReadabilityGuidelines to check our usage is considered. https://t.co/kbttJlKzLQ
Being a big advocate of user-friendly content, these Readability Guidelines are a go-to resource for me as they're centered around Plain English and accessibility, with research-backed guidance.

Why are you including complex words in your copy?
Even the most literate individuals benefit from simpler English!
"Buy" not "purchase"
"Near" not "In close proximity"
Make things easier. It helps everyone!!
@CDS_GC Great thread! Do you know about the #ReadabilityGuidelines? There’s plenty of overlap with these tips but #PlainLanguage is also so important.
@KickstartSophie Recommend the #ReadabilityGuidelines wiki: clear advice on accessible online writing and inclusive content, plus links to usability studies. https://t.co/Tvrd1yogJ2

@faundez_alex 1. @ContentDesignLN and collaborators #ReadabilityGuidelines, because as well as guidance and examples on a wide range of topics it links directly to usability studies and papers.
2. @GDSTeam Design System with content largely by @Amy_Hupe which gives examples and also code 🤩
The #ReadabilityGuidelines can be considered as a #contentdesign bible and will help to guide content decisions that are made during the design process.
Insightful and useful! 🙌
