This is a worthy endeavour and I'm happy to give it a plug. The Commons public administration committee is holding an inquiry into official language and it is asking people to send in examples of government communication at its best, and its worst.
Have you received a letter from government or seen an official leaflet that struck you as a really bad – or really good – example of official language? Perhaps the language used was confusing, riddled with jargon or simply meaningless gobbledegook. Or perhaps it got the message across clearly and effectively to the target audience.
The committee, chaired by the Labour MP Tony Wright, is interested in the way government departments communicate with people as consumers of public services, as well as the way they present information more generally. Wright and his colleagues would like people to send them examples, ideally no longer than 500 words, by the end of April.
For more details, do read the committee's news release. Wright would like you to email your examples to the committee at pasc@parliament.uk, although if you would rather just mention your ideas here, I'll be happy to pass them on.
