After listening to your presentation, I find myself becoming more attentive to language and how I will use it to convey my message. I am becoming conscious of how I write and for whom I am writing. I realize that language is so important, but for it to be truly effective I have to know my readers. Simple language has proven to be so useful, and I am thankful that I can put into practice what I have learned in your workshop.
