Today is International Plain Language Day. In 2010, the United States passed the Plain Writing Act. It required government communications to follow plain language guidance. Cheryl Stephens and Kate Harrison Whiteside, founders of PLAIN, recognised the moment and chose 13 October to celebrate clear communication. At its heart, plain language aims to help everyone understand important information. With gobbledygook rampant, doublespeak multiplying, and forecasts of heavy fog, 2025 is the year to remember: you have a right to understand. This year there is also a lot to celebrate. PLAIN now has members in 48 countries, working in 20+ languages. So whether you speak plain, clara, claro, clair, simples, klarspråk, , prosty, ĊARA, planer celebrate today. How do you say “plain” in your language?
