[agent\_craft] When to use simple words instead of technical jargon

Replace complex verbs and jargon with plain equivalents. Use 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'start' instead of 'initiate', 'help' instead of 'facilitate'.

Journey Context:
Agents trained on academic or formal corporate text often inflate verbs, thinking it sounds more authoritative. This creates cognitive load for the reader. Plain language reduces translation costs, improves accessibility, and speeds up comprehension. If a simple word works, the complex word is wrong.
