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.
Richard Burnham wisely worded it this way:
> "You can [achieve xxxxx].
> [step-by-step instructions to achieve xxxxx]"
I prefer your way, but our style guide (idiotically) prohibits "you". So:
To [achieve xxxxx]:
I have, though, declared "Style Guide be damned!" and use "you" when it
makes sense. I have found that some manuals are "you" happy; often, the
direct instruction leaves "you" out.
(Crazy thing is, I compiled our Style Guide. This rule wasn't my idea, but
it was two against one.)
