Lock Haven
to tell it like
By ROD SNYDER
Associated Press Writer
HARRISBURG Requiring law
yers to write contracts in plain En
glish would be a boon to consumers
forced to muddle through gobbledy
gook that has confounded laymen
since the days of Thomas Jefferson,
an English professor told a Senate
committee yesterday.
James Dayananda, a Lock Haven
University professor who is a leading
proponent of so-called plain-language
legislation, said the measure would
help people understand complex fi
nancial and legal agreements that
are a part of everyday life.
The plain-language bill is pending
in the Senate Consumer Protection
and Professional Licensure Commit
tee, which held a public hearing yes
terday on its merits.
Opponents of the measure argue

that simplifying the wording of con
tracts takes away the specificity and
legal accuracy contained in more
complex language.
But consumer protection groups
generally support the proposal, say
ing it would help the average person
who must try to understand the often
murky, archaic language used in
many insurance policies, deeds,
leases and credit accounts.
"Plain English is as American as
apple pie," said Dayananda. "The
Declaration of Independence, the
Gettysburg Address, Walden and
Huckleberry Finn the supreme
achievements of American English
are in plain English."
"Thomas Jefferson was an early
advocate of plain English," Dayanan
da said.
"He lamented in 1817 that his fellow
lawyers were accustomed to 'making
every other word a said or aforesaid,

and saying everything over two or
three time's, so that nobody but we of
the craft can untwist the diction and
find out what it means.' "
Under the legislation, contracts
would have to be "written in a simple,
clear, understandable and easily
readable way." The proposal would
allow a court or state officials to
decide whether a policy or contract
met the requirement. If it failed, the
contract could be voided..
"By investing just a small amount
of time and effort in understandable
language for our everyday contracts,
life could be made a lot simpler not
only for the consumer, but for busi
ness as well," said Sen. Freeman
Hankins, sponsor of the legislation.
David Snyder, a spokesman for
Nationwide Insurance, said his com
pany and many others already have
simplified the language in their poli
cies.
