Comment on Simplified Technical English

Comments

Reads very nicely but I can't imagine someone checking the dictionary for every verb or noun they use in order to determine whether it is approved.

It seems all it would take is a custom dictionary with your spell checker.

There are additionally certain ways sentences are to be constructed that are beyond the means of simple spellcheckers. The accepted vocabulary list is the easy part of the spec.

Neither could any of the technical writers I worked with when this was proposed.
