Check out this explanation of how the Saturn V rocket works that uses only the 1,000 most common words. It’s great in its simplicity, which is a good thing, but it does lack the detail about what makes this rocket such a brilliant design, so you lose a little in translation. No matter how you feel about the complexity of the language, it will make you laugh (at least a little).
If you’re interested to know where I found this, it was on Seth Godin’s blog post for today, “Does vocabulary matter?” It’s a great reminder about using the right word at the right time.
Enjoy!
