"Level A" has about 1200 words. "Level B" has about 2800 words. Its rules include using one topic per paragraph. It does not use passive verbs, split infinitives, ambiguous pronouns or idioms.

This vocabulary and its application rules are similar to those of VOA Special English, SPOTLIGHT Specialized English and Globish. All three based on a vocabulary list of some 1500 words and guide lines on simple writing. In some way, the rules are also comparable to the simple English Wikipedia and Wiktionary guidelines.
