Assume that the reader knows *nothing* except that meaning of words which is common to all versions of English. Assume that he/she knows *nothing* about the culture you live in, or any other culture. Avoid words which have different meanings in the various versions of English, trunk, pavement etc etc etc. Avoid words which are only used in one culture or version of English, such as "lathi" Avoid all similes metaphors, parallels and the like. Avoid all references to your own culture and *all* minority cultures.
Then we should never use the words: etext, ebook, public domain, because they are clearly "subculture" ? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
