 What's your idea about PLAIN ENGLISH ??

 

Plain English (sometimes referred to more broadly as plain language) is a generic term for communication styles that emphasise clarity, brevity and the avoidance of technical language - particularly in relation to official government communication, including laws.

The intention is to write in a manner that is easily understood by the target audience: appropriate to their reading skills and knowledge, clear and direct, free of cliché and unnecessary jargon.

 

Without thinking about official government communication  isn't it much better try to use plain English in all  our daily conversations ??

 

What's your idea ?

  • Don't forget about the grave as the last house .   :->
    • Grave?!

      Which grave?!!

      Really you think that you can leave without completing those hours?!

      You must finish your work!

      That grave can wait.

      That's all.
  • Hi.

    You are so silent these days, here.

    Maybe you are thinking about your new group!!

    But if you ask me, I will say that just thinking about a new group isn't enough for your different skills at all.

    At least it must be something more than a site!

    • To tell the truth I'm too busy to have a piece of free time these days. I  start my day at 5:30 every morning and I leave my office at 12:00 pm every midnight .

      Every midnight  as I am going back home I see Cinderella running toward her chart with only one crystal shoe .

      And wolves around going for nightly hunting. 

      And tired old Owl on that old oak. 

      And I can hear prays like moaning from the palm garden .

      and nothing more ...

    • Tonight's view

       

      Cinderella is running toward her coach…

      But suddenly she stops, turns her head and smiles.

       

      The old owl is on the oak tree…

      And the light of the moon has made his wings golden.

       

      Palms garden are praying…

      Seems they are singing the nicest song.

    • Hi.
      How many other days must you work 19 hours?
    • Who knows ...! ?
    • Didn't they say it to you?!!

      Ok!

       

      Let's count it ourselves:

      If we imagine that you worked "x" hours each day before your trip, then 7 days that you weren't in your office must be redressed, namely, "7x".

      Now, you are working 19 hours that "x" hours is formal and "19 - x" hours is extra.

       

      Then:

      "7x / (19 - x)" will give us the number of the days that you should work 19 hours.

       

      So, please tell us, what is "x"?

    • Ummm let me calculate 

       

      Everyone needs at least 5 hours to sleep each day 

      24-5=19

      and about 2 hours for eating and drinking 

      19-2=17

      and about 2 hours for coming and going an traffic 

      17-2=15 

      and also taking shower, washing teeth and so on 

      15-1=14

      and maybe waste time 

      14-2=12

      and times for reading books and newspaper, working out and internet

      12-3=9

      But what about Painting, handwriting,singing and others ?

      9-2=7

      As my efficiency in my work is in its best level about 70% 

      7-(7*30/100)= 7-2.1=4.9

      Oh only 4.9 hours a day 

      Oh no I have to work for years 

       

    • Painting?!!

      Really?!

      Nice!

      Well done!!

      Hope we'll also see your paintings soon.

       

      Sorry!

      Did you say only 4 hours?!

      How good!

      Where is your office?!!
