► About this video
In this video, Jesse talks about auditing your text for words and sentences that make it more difficult to read. The rule of thumb? The longer the word, sentence or paragraph, the more difficult it is to read. And why use difficult words when simpler ones are available so often? Visitors are more likely to read a whole article that’s easier to read, than one that takes more energy to understand.
