explain-in-simple-language
From the author
Explain code, a decision, a recap, or a question to the user, or write a document a human reads, so a fluent but often non-native reader understands it on the first read. Use when explaining or asking the user anything, when writing a review, report, or brief a human reads (never text sent under the user's name), or when the user asks for simpler words or says they did not understand.

A number returns exactly that many points, most important first.Writing★ 1.2K
