Don't think plain English is simplistic or patronizing. Plain English is clear English. It's the style of all great writers. Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck are writers with a simple, clear and direct style. Time, Newsweek, Scientific America and the Washington Post - just about every successful publication - owe their popularity and readership to adopting a clear, readable style."<p>You know, for once, I am not at all annoyed or insulted at
U.S. News's being left out. I don't think I'd want my name associated with this for any reason. And I wonder if anyone reading this might infer that those publications listed have used this product.<p>And I just realized, they got Scientific American wrong. So much for their own editing prowess.<p>[ May 31, 2004: Message edited by: SusanV ]</p>
