Re: H1B tech writers

Yes, and we love *y'all* too!

One project that I thoroughly enjoyed
was translating the overview of a
banking software package from British
English to American English.

Besides, please remember that, beginning
with the next release of the Oxford
Dictionary, American English will have
invaded "The Queen's English." Our
apologies to the purists among you, but
"Ya win a few, ya lose a few, and a few
get rained out."

Warmest Wishes,

Leatta Welch
