Newsflash 11/4/2009:
Web Manager University recently commissioned these new Howcast videos on the Return-on-Investment of Usability, and Plain Language.
See how the (fictional) U.S. Department of Very Fast Trains handles usability and plain language.
Suggestion: Play the videos next week at your staff meetings in honor of World Usability Day and "The Importance of Usability + Plain Language"!
Each video is less than three minutes long and lots of fun:
