" Simple, easy-to-understand information often outperforms complex writing. Other studies have shown that people find “fluent,” or easy-to-process, information to be more:
- Familiar
- Intelligent
- Likeable
- True
Bottom line: People prefer the simple to the complex."

"Choose fluent words
People prefer words and ideas that are:
- Fluent: Short, simple and easy-to-pronounce words perform best.
- Familiar: Repeated exposure to a word, phrase or idea makes people more likely to prefer it.
- Facile: People find rhyming statements, for instance, to be more believable than those that don’t rhyme.
Words do matter. Choose yours carefully."
