@DavidZodda Thank you, and all health personnel, for your service. In the 22st century the only fights we should be fighting should be fraught with love, care, compassion, and science. What you are doing is truly heroic.
When this #coronavirus #COVID2019 passes, we cannot afford to rescue the status quo that is leaving behind so many workers, students, patients, small businesses and our #sharedplanet. Let’s create a #bettersociety
@Dave_Ferguson @danachis Yes! And when that happens it’s hilarious and frustrating at once!
@danachis @JazmynLatimer And then you realize you did better at the rehearsal than at the live!
@proftrudeau @Google I was waiting for these!!! Thank you @proftrudeau !

You don’t have to be a journalist to appreciate @tommytomlinson's message: ‘Writing in #plainlanguage is not dumbing down your story. It’s creating a map that all your readers can navigate.’ ow.ly/PSp450xUy3O
@Piglita So true! I’d love to turn this around and consider this an opportunity to encourage people to check/verify their assumptions!
@ASTMIntl Thank you for this work and for promoting participation from the community. Progress is always a concerted effort. Just to give some perspective: we’ve come a long way from the days of plague doctors’ gear!
Wow, yes this drives the point of #healthliteracy as a dynamic (and construct right home. Very powerful!
Why is #healthliteracy a state, not a trait? This commercial shows you. Note: it’s not about HL at all, yet it is. Health literacy impacts everything in #healthcare. youtu.be/iZstioTjdbo
@PlainEnglishAus And yet, remember that Flesch created his formula to score texts for teaching which he assumed had the proper grammatical n logical features needed for understanding. Readability formulas work like a thermometer: the temperature of the text is far from enough for a diagnosis!

Plain language has #clearresults, as the US FDA recently found. Since translating a consumer reporting form in 2013, they’ve seen an increase in the number and quality of responses about pharmaceuticals, and a decrease in time to complete it. ow.ly/d56L50vYvb0
