Simple language is like a bicycle with training wheels: You don’t need to be an experienced cyclist to move forward. The words are the sturdy tires, the short sentences are the stable training wheels, and the clear message is the road ahead. Anyone can cycle on it, without falling or losing their way. It is easy, safe and always gets you to your destination. But beware: It may seem simple, but writing in simple language is not easy. It takes precision, attention and practice to make short sentences, without foreign words, clear and understandable.
