This week's discussion post based on a Ted talk by Deborah Bosley in which she discussed how plain language makes life simpler and effective communication. Using plain language is valuable in effective communication. Plain language refers to clear and concise writing that is easily understandable by the intended audience. It avoids jargon, complex sentence structures, and unnecessary technical terms. By using plain language, you can enhance comprehension and engage your readers more effectively. Nobody wants to read an article that sounds like a lawyer wrote it, a piece of literature in which you must sit there and try to dissect just to make sense of the information it's trying to get across. These are simple examples and show how plain language and written communication is a valuable tool, especially in the business world to get your point across to your audience.

She goes on in the video in talking about how you want to engage your readers not only to inform them but to keep them from getting bored. Nobody wants to read something that's so long that only has one page of real information on it. Throughout her video the only thing I could think about was the terms of use that you see on products that are written by lawyers that are almost like torture when you're having to read through. They're intended almost 99% of the time to make their reader skip to the very end and just accept all the claims above just to use said product. Instead, they could simply tell you don't use the product in such a way or there can be legal consequences and narrow it down into a simple paragraph instead of pages of something you won't read.

After watching this Ted talk it made me realize the way that I personally communicate with people. Sometimes I go on a tangent when talking about something I'm passionate about. That I myself need to be clearer concise incredible and getting my point across to my audience and allowing them clarity when understanding what I'm talking about.
