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.
A strange convergence of ideas from TechWr-L ended up at my keyboard
today, as I perform my role of creative services and marketing
departments (thus making myself more valuable to my company and raising
the ceiling on my salary and career path) when I typed this sentence (I,
who had only one semester of typing class in junior high--I can't
remember if there were any boys in the class or not) into a new layout:
"XYZ product saves marketing and deployment costs and provides an
accelerated return on infestment."
While this sentence is entirely compatible with both frames and
non-frames web pages and can be rendered in any available font size, it
is entirely incompatible with the message the company's owner is trying
to convey on Monday.
I have a feeling there's a problem with tense in the 1st paragraph, but
I'm too tired to weed it out from amongst all the parentheticals...
