It\u2019s 10am on a workday morning and a bunch of us are, accidentally and animatedly, tweaking some text on a neglected webpage we administer. \u2018Too long!\u2019 \u2018It\u2019s so long-winded.\u2019 \u2018Uggh, it sounds stodgy and dull\u2019. \u2018Look at that next sentence \u2013 why, just why?\u2019<\/p>\n

We\u2019d intended to check on only a small detail but quickly ended up editing with a passion. Honestly, we didn\u2019t mean to! But, oh, the satisfaction at the glorious transformation. It felt good. Very, very good! The world was now a better place. Instructions were clear. Readers would breeze through it. Job done!<\/p>\n

If you too get a happy burst of dopamine from turning around bad writing, you\u2019ll totally get this and probably be nodding in agreement. And if you\u2019ve been on top of the world after some of your own transformations, you\u2019d better share! Enter them in the Turnaround category of the annual Plain English Awards<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be cheering you on, every step of the way!<\/p>\n

The Turnaround award recognises the best plain English rewrite of a document or website that was originally difficult to read.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
