Quick plain English links

A few quick links from Haiko hebig’s post on The Plain English Campaign Awards. These are especially usefull for non-native English speakers like me.

• How to write in plain English
• The plain English guide to designing clear websites
• Several other free guides
• NASA’s Handbook for Technical Writers and Editors - Grammar, Punctuation, and Capitalization

It’s not listed in his post, probably because it is not available online, but I would also recommend Strunk and White’s Elements of Style.

Update: Thanks to Lars Holst for pointing me to an online copy of the Elements of Style. He also recommends The Economist Style Guide, which I intend to read thoroughly as I like their style of writing a lot.
