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.
As soon as I hit send, I see "your" that should be "you're".
If we could find the source of the effect that makes such blatant things
invisible, we would bottle it and sell it as cloaking technology. Dump
this techwriting stuff and live on the royalties.
