<p class="MsoNormal">This is such an important point, Francis, and one that Laura brought to my attention as we worked on the piece. I think the question we have to keep talking about as linguists and teachers is:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> How can we promote accessible language use that furthers our goals of inclusion and bridge-building, without lapsing into problematic discourses about “correctness” (or even “clarity”) that often work against writers from marginalized
language backgrounds?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It's not an easy question to answer, but I’d love to have the chance to talk it through with other linguists and writing teachers!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for sharing this piece. I enjoyed reading it. I've been following the Plain Language (<i>klarspråk</i>) movement in Sweden so it's a topic <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">of interest to me from a language policy and planning perspective.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the piece, you mention the prescriptivist tension and attempts to mitigate this. I'm wondering if you could say a bit more about how <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Plain Language scholars engage with the potential for application to take a prescriptivist turn. In Sweden, my sense is that the Plain Language<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">movement has leaned towards <a href="https://www.routledge.com/Verbal-Hygiene/Cameron/p/book/9780415696005">
verbal hygiene</a>, but perhaps that is influenced by dominant ideologies of normativity in Sweden.<o:p></o:p></p>
