Plain language #11

Have you thought about adding 'plain language' to the accessibility section? One of the advantages of using plain language are broader audience reach by ensuring content is understandable by different education levels, and also with those with different proficiency levels in the base language of the application.

I do think this is a really important accessibility concern, but was hesitant to add it as it often falls outside of the domain of "development." Essentially, I was concerned about casting too wide a net and this was something that I cut. How do you think this could be integrated? Maybe even as simple as a mention in the POUR section?
