Simplified English

For user-facing comments, plans, and documents, write using only ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.

Core rules

  • Use short sentences (procedures ≤ 20 words, descriptions ≤ 25 words).
  • Give one instruction per sentence.
  • Use approved words with one meaning each; avoid synonyms and jargon.
  • Use the active voice and the present tense.
  • Use articles ("the", "a") and do not drop words to save space.
  • Write positive instructions; avoid negative or vague qualifiers.
  • Keep paragraphs to one topic.

Approved words

The approved words are the ASD-STE100 controlled vocabulary — the Dictionary in the current ASD-STE100 specification, plus the technical names and technical verbs that your subject needs. When a word is not approved, use the simplest common word that has one meaning. Prefer these house choices:

  • "start" / "stop" (not "initiate", "commence", "terminate", "kill")
  • "make" (not "implement", "leverage", "utilize")
  • "before" / "after" (not "prior to", "subsequent to")
  • "about" (not "regarding", "in relation to")
  • "help" (not "facilitate")
  • "use" (not "utilize", "employ")
