RE: change of wording

What is clearer and easier to test     “common” or  “in general use” ?

All the best

    Hi Lisa,
  
 My suggestions are to substitute:
 ·     “common” for “in general use”, i.e., “Choose words that are common for the context.”
 ·     change “difficult” for “harder”, i.e., “… or is found in user tests to make the content difficult to understand.”

 Hi Folks
   
 
  I wanted to change the wording of 
 
   
 
  Choose words that are in general use for the context. Use word or phrase from the most commonly used 3000 words, unless this will result in a loss of meaning.

  Choose words that are in general use for the context. Use words or phrases that are used more frequently, unless this will result in a loss of meaning or is found in user tests to make the content harder to understand. 
 
   
 
  Is this Ok?
