Language

Using clear language

  • Don’t use dashes if you can avoid it. Instead of writing 5–7, write 5 to 7.
  • Expand abbreviations — instead of writing Jan, write January.
  • Expand acronyms, at least once or twice, then use the tag to describe them.

Don’t use dashes, abbreviations only acronyms:

<div>The show will play at 5–7 Jan</div>

Do use expanded explanations:

<div>The show will play between 5th and 7th of January</div>
