TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Several days ago, I posted a message with a link to a
main-stream e-zine (Wired), about a subject that a number of you
found objectionable. While I don't retract my belief that part
of the article contained information appropriate to what we do
(convince through grammar), I was remiss in not including an
emphatic warning in the post about its subject matter to
insulate those who wish to avoid certain subjects regardless of
its impact on the profession...I only mentioned the
"awkwardness" of the subject in passing.
I apologize for the post and in the future, will do my best to
be more obvious about it's content.
