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.
Many moons ago when I attended Michigan Tech University, we used a grammar
book called "The Little, Brown Handbook." I remember that being one of the
best basic grammar-teaching books in how it was written and structured. Some
17 or 18 years later, I still remember what dangling and misplaced modifiers
are (which I discovered that I was notorious for) and how to avoid using
them. The grammar class based on that book was second to none as far as
teaching me how to write clearly.
I checked Amazon.com, and the book is still being published and is up to the
9th edition. That site also lists "The Little, Brown Compact Handbook,"
which I'm guessing is a subset of the other book.
