One thing that tends to trip me up is people's different abilities to parse graphics and texts.
Physicists are so used to looking at plots most of us are really good at interpreting them. But this is a hard-earned skill. If I talk to the general public I have to take great care in keeping plots and graphics really really simple.
I hear the humanities have similar issues with text. So whatever your background is, tailor not just your content and language to the audience but the visual language as well.
