At the end of my professional career I was a Technical Writer at Rockwell Collins Radio. One of the problems we saw with the writing of most technical material is that most of it was unreadable. We endeavored to write in sentences that an eighth grader could understand. The sentences were short and to the point. We had to then take our own material, give it to someone else and ask them to follow what was written. If they (another writer) couldn't understand it then we would re-write it. If I must say so myself, we were pretty good at making it readable and understandable.
