Just thought I'd share... I was reading the Social Security Administration/Internal Revenue Service Reporter--I do billing and payroll for a company (one of my "jobs") so I got to keep up on this important stuff. The IRS proudly announced that it's updating one of it's forms. "Each line of the form was critically reviewed. In addition, IRS brought in "plain language" contractors to help ensure the form and accompanying instructions are clear and easy to understand." What's a "plain language" contractor, and can I be one? What are the qualifications? To speak plainly? I want to do that. Doesn't the IRS have employees who speak plainly who could have helped the lawyers write the new form. No matter how many "plain language" contractors they employ, I'm sure the form will still be unintelligible.
