Plain Language Association International (PLAIN) is the international association for plain language supporters and practitioners around the world. Our growing network includes members from over 30 countries working in clear communication in at least 15 languages.
A communication is in plain language if its wording, structure, and design are so clear that the intended audience can easily find what they need, understand what they find, and use that information.
User. Reader. Audience. Customer. The public. Whichever way you define them, they’re essential to the work we do in plain language.
The next issue of PLAIN’s e-journal will focus on getting to know your user.
We are looking for contributions from colleagues around the world about new developments as well as time-tested methods in understanding the relationship between plain language practitioners and users.
