clear as day
when enthusiastic informal praise suits the audience
not when The idiom overpromises universal comprehension and is wrong in formal accessibility guidance.
everyday
easy to understand
when a direct description is clearer than a format label
not when The phrase states an outcome but does not identify how accessibility was achieved.
everyday
simplified
when complexity has been deliberately reduced
not when Simplified can sound patronizing and may omit vital detail rather than improve access.
warm
reader-friendly
when comfortable navigation and prose deserve informal praise
not when Reader-friendly is subjective and does not name a recognized disability-access format.
professional
accessible
when multiple barriers to understanding or use are addressed
not when Accessible is wider, and responsible use names which needs were tested.
professional
plain-language
when clearer wording benefits a broad public audience
not when Plain language does not necessarily include the images and layout conventions of Easy Read.
