I write guides for people who do not speak English fluently. I keep my sentences short, I use simple words, and I use the Oxford comma. It helps a lot. I moved to Germany when I didn't speak German. The government uses complex language to talk to people who don't speak German. It made me angry, and I wanted to do better. In my opinion, sentences that start with the condition are easier to read. You already know if they are relevant to you. For example, "If you meet condition A, you must do B" is easier to parde than "You must do B if you meet condition A". I also avoid idioms. They are fun, but they are hard to understand. I have many other tricks, but your two tricks are the most important. |
