在几个新发现的独立博客之间乱逛，发现了一个有趣的美国政府官方网站。

简明用语（Plain Language）有一些引起我注意的地方：

1. Language that is plain to one set of readers may not be plain to others.
2. Material is in plain language if your audience can understand what they find the first time they read or hear it.
3. You can still choose interesting words.
4. Use the simplest tense possible—simple present is best
5. Never use “click here” as a link. Link language should describe what your reader will get if they click the link.
6. Content is the user experience.
7. There is only 20 languages available for Plain Language's Wikipedia page.
