Writing experts have warned that an attempt to simplify the text only by changing the length of the words and sentences may result in text that is more difficult to read.<ref name="Fleschwrite2">{{cite book |last=Flesch |first=R. |title=The Art of Readable Writing |publisher=Harper |year=1949 |location=New York |oclc=318542 |author-link=Rudolf Flesch}}</ref> All the variables are tightly related. If one is changed, the others must also be adjusted, including approach, voice, person, tone, typography, design, and organization.
Writing for a class of readers other than one's own is very difficult. It takes training, method, and practice.<ref name="FleschArt2">Flesch, R. 1946. ''The art of plain talk.'' New York: Harper.</ref> Among those who are good at this are writers of novels and children's books. The writing experts all advise that, besides using a formula, observe all the norms of good writing, which are essential for writing readable texts. Writers should study the texts used by their audience and their reading habits.<ref name="FleschPlain2">Flesch, R. 1979. ''How to write in plain English: A book for lawyers and consumers''.
