Seriously. I only pick up calls because I'm nervous there's some delivery I'd forgotten 😬

Perhaps best to follow Merriam-Webster's advice: "realize that the disputed sense is established and standard, but nevertheless liable to criticism. If such criticism concerns you, you can probably avoid comprise by using compose, constitute, or make up...." (2/2)

I know what you mean. "Plain language" is jargon for those of us working on clear comms. Most people think about dumbed-down and simplistic language when they hear the word "plain."

I follow the EU's example: call it "clear writing" (or clear comms) and use the ISO plain language definition.
