===== Clear and Concise =====
===== Clear and Concise =====
Clear language is organized logically, is not unnecessarily involved, and is easily understood by the target audience. It will avoid needless jargon and complexity. Good technical communication expresses meaning in a way that is straightforward and that avoids redundant words or excessive explanations. It is easy to both absorb and process. {{sfn|Smirti|2022}} {{sfn|Proofed Editors|2020}}
