Subject:Simplified English and Plain Language From:Lorin Ledger <LLedger -at- NEWHORIZON -dot- CA> Date:Fri, 8 Jan 1999 09:51:38 -0800
I thought this would be a good discussion:
Is there a difference between Simplified English and Plain Language? I
know that SE is engineering specific, and takes a long time to master.
Seems that PL has the same objective as SE, but is not as stringent in
its rules.
Thoughts? Experiences?
