Re: alternitive to constrained language

I agree the discussion on constrained language should be revived. We should add it to the solutions section.

All the best

Lisa 
thanks for this. 
 
I'd really like this 'conversation' to be revived. 
 
The changes in technology and the way we interact have changed and I 
think there is a really good case to be made for a constrained 
language and I think it can be handled in a relatively practical way 
these days. I am keen for a solution that is like a curb cut - good 
for everyone, especially helpful for those with a disability that can 
be avoided.
