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.
Then, of course, you'll want your letters and packages delivered by a

Subject: RE: Time Tracking - feminist remark
>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.

The writers all stand around a cauldron chanting and occasionally tossing in
a small sexist. Unless stated otherwise, these opinions are mine, and mine
alone. Apologies for the long additional sig: it is added automatically and
outwith my control.
