Why Write Clearly?

I could have asked Google.

But I chose to ask ChatGPT instead.

I read the following sentence on Twitter: “you’ve been subbed for X days now, congrats”.

“Congrats” is short for “Congratulations”.

But I had never heard the term “subbed” before.

So I asked ChatGPT.

Within seconds, the response appeared: “You’ve been subscribed for x days.“

Ah, now all was clear.

Insiders* often use special words and abbreviations because they are familiar with the subject.

These terms are part of their everyday language.

Why am I telling you this?

By using simple and straightforward language, we can make it easier for everyone to understand.

It’s the best way to avoid confusion or misunderstandings.
