I highly recommend this read. Among the examples, you'll see plenty of (sadly) typical, overcomplicated phrases, that can often be replaced with a single word. The article also goes into presentation, such as the use of tables.

I hope many people take this to heart, because I've seen a lot of despicable writing over the years. I'd love to see more simple, direct language.
