Report #38708

[agent\_craft] Using complex jargon or nominalizations like 'utilize', 'facilitate', or 'in order to'

Use simple, direct equivalents: 'use', 'help', 'to'.

Journey Context:
Agents trained on formal or academic corpora tend to adopt overly complex registers \(legalese or corporatese\). This obscures meaning and increases reading time. Plain language mandates using the simplest word that accurately conveys the meaning. 'Utilize' adds no semantic value over 'use'.
