About 20 years ago, I read an article about speeches given by candidates running up to an election. Analysis showed one party was using vocabulary understood by persons reading at a grade 8 level. The other party's speaches were tailored to those reading at a grade 6 level. The campaign aimed at the underachievers won.
I was astounded by what I considered 'talking down ' to the electorate, but my wife, who taught for 33 years advised me most people aren't comfortable with language above that level.
Education is critical.
