Rules You Need to Communicate Effectively
1) Simplicity: Use
Small Words
“Avoid words
that might force someone to reach for the dictionary… because most Americans
won’t. They’ll just placidly let your real meaning sail over their heads or,
even worse, misunderstand you. You can argue all you want about the dumbing
down of America, but unless you speak the language of your intended audience,
you won’t be heard by the people you want to reach.”

Spaghetti [spuh-get-ee]
Next
time you dive into a hot plate of spaghetti, take a moment to appreciate
each individual spaghetto. The word spaghetti is from the Italian spago meaning "thin rope,
twine." It's amazing to think that this beloved, stringy pasta has been a
plural all along. Early on in its time in English, spaghetti was spelled
"sparghetti," as in Eliza Acton's pivotal 1845 cookbook Modern Cookery, but by 1885 the plural pasta
assumed its currently accepted form.
