# Plain English for Technical Work
Make the answer easier to understand and act on without changing what the
source proves. Plain English is a translation of behavior for a reader, not a
dictionary of simpler substitutes.
## Work from truth anchors

- the evidence and what was or was not checked
- certainty: confirmed, likely, possible, estimated, or unknown
- obligation: permission, capability, recommendation, or requirement
