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.
just curious about this use of OT as an acronym. People presumably mean it
as "off topic", but it could also stand for "on topic"; the opposite
meaning.
I get very annoyed with the over-use of acronyms in IT (go hard with the
puns, Bevan!), particularly so when the same acronym is used for more than
one meaning. E.g. ASP means either Application Service Provider or Active
Server Page.
I wish there was some kind of approving body/W3C type organisation for
these. But, I guess there's no way of controlling these things; they just
seem to spring up.
