Watch Your Language

Lawyers are notorious for writing in "legal jargon" but most legal writing manuals also advocate a plain and simple style.  The "Watch Your Language" post at 3 Geeks and a Law Blog calls out corporate speak.

Hard to tell which is worse:  business speak or legal jargon.

The post does offer four useful tips:
Simplicity
Brillance
Time
Usability

Check out the post for the definitions of each.  Good to know that lawyers are not the only people who need to watch their language.
