I'd recommend George Orwell's essay on "Politics and the English
Language". It's one of the most persuasive arguments to use clear
language I've read.

We're a multi-lingual movement, and this makes clear English even more
important. If something is unclear to a native speaker, it's even more
difficult for someone who has English as a second or third language.
