I salute the goal ("hereinafter" should not be a word in 2022), but this list is poorly considered and often just substitutes one regional construct for another. How is "take part" more clearly understood than "participate"? It's not.
When I worked at an international institution, we had a joke that for every 100 words in English, 40 of them were accepted International English. It's true that jargon and regionalisms are confusing and exclusive, and that you need to consider your audience before writing something like "the client directive constrains us to utilize the Befangennam algorithm", but the actual solution offered here is way off.
