[agent\_craft] Using complex jargon or nominalizations instead of plain language

Replace nominalizations and polysyllabic jargon with simple, direct verbs and short words \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'to' instead of 'in order to'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often try to sound professional by using formal words, which actually reduces readability and increases cognitive load. Plain language guidelines mandate simple words because they communicate faster and with less ambiguity, especially for non-native speakers.
