#1217: Plain language : Nekita comments
From:Nlbo@aol.com
Corbett Friends,
I am glad Bob made the point on"plain language". Though I had some linguistic
classes, I felt like I was being taken to another graduate course by some of
the linguists and college professors.
I would like to refer the adhoc list that Bob is talking about the web
site WWW.plainlanguage.com
I found out about this site in a Boston Globe Nov . 18, l998 article
referring to politicians' needs to use "plain language" when addressing the
average person.
I hope those linguists and those professors are aware that there are many
"average" people in this discussion line.
