This paper focuses on the effects of Plain English and its usefulness for the semplification of institutional documents. It also deals with certain problematic aspects and in particular with the unilateral idiomaticity of the vocabulary that should be used.according to the Fight the Fog Campaign Simplification cannot consist in eliminating lexical items of Classical origin-polissyllabic latinate words that have a wide international circulation and which to be understood and used properly by non-native speakers of English only require a modicum of phonological, lexical and metalinguistic competence.
