The government finally conceded and committed to mandatory plain language standards for all regulated documents. Our pressure forced these bureaucrats and corporate suits to stop hiding behind confusing jargon. Keep watching them because we will hold them to every single word of this new policy.

The massive surge in support proves people are sick of being lied to by government bureaucracies and corporate suits who hide behind complex jargon. This momentum shows those in power that they can no longer treat us like fools while they bury the truth in endless paperwork.

The government needs to stop hiding behind complex wording. If they want us to follow rules they better make sure we can actually understand them.
Had to pay a lawyer just to tell me what my own insurance policy said. This is broken.
Why is everything written like its from the 1800s? Keep it simple please.
Every time I look at a contract from my bank it feels like they are trying to hide something on purpose. Just write it so normal people can read it.
SO TIRED OF THE LEGAL JARGON. It is meant to confuse us and it works.

It's completely absurd that we're forced to sign documents for services we need, yet can't understand the conditions because they aren't clearly stated in plain English.
