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.
>Count me in. But you forgot "personually," "personagement," and "persony."
Oh, come on. Next thing you'll want "Human Resources" instead of "Man
Resources", personnel instead of mannel, personality instead of manality,
personify instead of manify, Sheffield instead of Heffield, and staffing
instead of manning. That's the kind of PC thinking that leads to <shudder>
accurate and precise use of language, instead of customary sloppiness. Tut
tut.
