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.
Please accept a lurker's thanks to everyone who replied, on list and off
list, to my question about "deprecated."
Initially, I was averse to using it, but as I read folks' comments and
thought back to how I'd seen the term used elsewhere, I came to like it.
Sort of like certain pungent cheeses or single-malt whiskeys.
I especially liked some of the propsed alternatives -- doomed, senile,
lame duck, and so on.
You guys are pretty good when you're not trying to rile up Eric <smirk>.
