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.
I snagged a deal yesterday to replace my aging laser printer at home. In the
top of a box is a single sheet (orange!) with the headling "Important!"
(Yes, with the exclamation point.)
It says [with a couple of my own added notes]: "In *many* [emphasis mine]
locations, [company name] provides toll free [note the lack of a hyphen for
the compound adjective] telephone support during the warrenty period.
However, some of the phone numbers listed below may not be toll free."
The list contains precisely one US number:
+1 (1) 208 ...
Now I don't know where 208 is (it's sure not around the company's
headquarters), but wherever it is--especially compared with the entire
country--I'm not sure the places that can dial this number toll free are
"many."
