Tesla is recalling 2.2 million vehicles because the text on the in-car display is too small. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the issue was discovered during a routine audit of Tesla vehicles.

Lots of stationary stores everywhere in Taiwan. They are similar to the ones you'd find in Japan, and these stores are heaven for those who love pens and paper in all shapes and sizes. Two floors full of them!

After giving three talks in three days, the afternoon was filled with a lovely guided walking tour of Tainan's city center. We first visited the Confucius temple dating back to 1666, with its adjacent school.

@plain_language Excellent case studies that demonstrate how plain language matters. They also show how changes in organizational culture can jumpstart clarity across all kinds of communications.
