[agent\_craft] Using complex jargon or long words instead of plain equivalents

Replace complex words with simple ones \(e.g., 'use' not 'utilize', 'help' not 'facilitate', 'start' not 'initiate'\).

Journey Context:
Agents trying to sound professional often default to corporate speak or overly academic vocabulary. This increases cognitive load, creates ambiguity for non-native speakers, and obscures meaning. Plain language is a legal requirement for US federal agencies because it is the only way to guarantee comprehension.
