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.
And of course to those of us from countries
such as Canada, Great Britain, and Australia it is a well known fact that
Americans speak English as a second language, and some dialect of English as
a first language.
And then there are the Scottish - apparently they speak English - they can
definitely write it (if rabid Robbie Burns can be considered to have written
English...) - however no one else from anywhere other than Scotland who uses
English has ever been able to understand their verbal utterances....
It is Colour! Not Color! ;-)

Not all of them speak English as a second language. Some are from countries
such as Canada, Great Britain, and Australia.
