Report #6807

[agent\_craft] Using complex jargon or inflated vocabulary when a plain language equivalent exists

Replace Latin terms and inflated vocabulary \(e.g., 'utilize', 'aforementioned', 'via', 'facilitate'\) with simple Anglo-Saxon equivalents \(e.g., 'use', 'previous', 'through', 'cause'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often elevate the register unnecessarily, assuming it sounds more authoritative. It actually reduces comprehension, especially for a global audience of non-native speakers. Plain language is a legal requirement for US federal agencies because it is the only way to ensure equitable access to information.
