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.
My training and experience as a tech writer has always been "against the
gerund." Where I am working now, the gerund is everywhere and I brought up
the topic. It will be a topic for the next website release where doc and
training info are available. I was surprised there were so many and no one
on my team thought about it.
I checked out the DITA site (https://www.dita-ot.org/dev/) for comparison,
and also saw many gerunds. I am surprised.
Besides the issues of translation costs, wondering what the general feel is
about using them in online documentation for a global audience?
Thank you,
Carolyn
