ALT The text at the top says, “Plain language professionals listen up.” Beneath that, here is a man with brown skin and black hair wearing a white shirt, grey pants, a blue jacket, and blue shoes. He has both hands up in a “Here you go” gesture. Beside him is text that says, “The ISO plain language standard will help plain language practitioners to increase their credibility” and “Join us and be at the forefront of change.”

@plain_language released its Federal Plain Language Report Card. We're sorry to see a decrease in US agencies' quality of writing. Find the report online bit.ly/3CRACFN or contact our editors to evaluate the quality of writing at your workplace bit.ly/3F9uWZm.
