Supports a Standardised Simplified Grammar
Controlled English (CE) is derived from the international platform for technical documentation: "Simplified Technical English" (STE). "Simplified Technical English" was developed by the Aerospace & Defence Association Industries of Europe, ASD (formally AECMA) to address the problems caused by non-standardised technical documentation in a global environment.

One Word = One Meaning
The key concept for "Controlled English" (CE) is that one word has just one meaning. Controlled English uses the ASD STE core dictionary and then expands this to include significant, company-specific, lexical items. A typical CE dictionary will include 2'500 - 8'500 items
