Turn Jargon Into Plain English for Any Audience
You have written something that makes perfect sense to you and almost none to the person reading it. Jargon sneaks in because you know the words and forget they are not universal. This translates your passage into plain English, replaces every specialist term with something a sensible adult can follow, and tells you what it changed and why.
