Did you know the language used in technical documents is called SIMPLIFIED ENGLISH and it actually has its own scientifically defined rules?
Simplified English has its
- approved vocabulary,
- not approved vocabulary,
- rules of converting a text from “original” English,
- maximum length of sentences,
- approved verb tenses,
- punctuation rules,
- and lots of other, carefully defined rules.
- It’s fascinating – for some of us
What we found for this weekend’s “easy” reading is a black and white pdf, for those who wouldn’t have believed but curious to find out that there is actually a list of 3,000 approved words and another list of more than 10,000 “not approved” words that are listed with their recommended approved alternatives. It’s a downloadable document, so if you click on the link below, you initiate downloading the pdf.
