The Plain Language Action and Information Network

“The Plain Language Action and Information Network is a government-wide group of volunteers working to improve communications from the federal government to the public. We believe better communication will increase trust in government, reduce government costs, and reduce the burden on the public. People should be able to understand what we write the first time they read it, especially materials that tell people how to obtain benefits or comply with requirements.”

Eat like a pro

“Every week I tell you where to eat. But I never say how. I mean, I assume that most of my readers have mastered the cut-chew-swallow basics, and I’m certainly not going near the tines-up/tines-down controversy. But there are simple steps you can take that can make any dining experience a little better — that is, a little more attuned to your personal tastes.”
