I'd also consider plain language and Easy Read guidance. One of the compliments I often get is that those who read by books and tutorials can understand what I'm talking about and guiding them through, especially technical processes.

I also use activate this or activate that as a more generic way of wording.

In terms of what I avoid. I avoid using ableist language like "enabled" and "disabled" when describing things. That is the only terminology that "grates on my nerves". 😊

I use available or not available. I can then describe why something is available or not available at a particular point in time.

Cheers, Karen
