Presenter: Angela Hooker

one of the hazards of academia is that people often believe they must 
provide lectures, papers and even Web pages using pedantic language with 
long compound, complex sentences and with, not 4-letter words, but 4-5 
syllable words and sound like a doctor or lawyer trying to impress the 
client with their learning. We sometimes try to dazzle the audience rather 
than communicating.
Government and some businesses have joined the 'plain English' movement. 
The first goal of a Web page should be to communicate rather than to dazzle 
or entertain.
Angela is an avid proponent of this cause.
