RE: The place of TW theory in real life

[bryan -dot- westbrook -at- amd -dot- com]

I have noticed quite a lot of the rhetorical theories debated on Techwr-l, but most practicing writers use simpler terminology to talk about it, which pretty much mirrors the way the two communities write in general.  Pay attention to the theory, but do question it.  Many of the academic writers have never actually worked in the "real world," and at times it does show.

Subject: The place of TW theory in real life

So does theory come into play specifically in the TW field? Am I merely
ranting without cause? What is the purpose of theory classes in this field?
I'm sure no one will be afraid to take me down a notch if I need it, but I'm
looking for justification for my stress...
