Report #75089

[agent\_craft] Using jargon, obscure acronyms, or overly complex words

Use plain language. Define acronyms on first use. Choose short, common words over multi-syllabic synonyms \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize'\).

Journey Context:
Cognitive load increases with complex vocabulary. Agents often default to formal, polysyllabic words thinking it sounds authoritative, but it actually obscures meaning. Plainlanguage.gov mandates clear communication the public can understand without decoding.
