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.
Another trick of our trade is to address the reader: "You are
responsible for such and such"; "To start the engine, turn the key on
the front of the computer." (Forgive my capitalization!)
Whatever you do, don't make the mistake that a local restaurant chain
made on the back of its checks, where they ask, "Did your server
introduce his/herself?" Then again, it's a country-sausage
restaurant, and a waiter there might introduce hisself.
