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.
The idea of standard English kinda makes me laugh. Which English would we
use? One linguist (whose name I wish I could remember) proposed that we
write and speak SWINE -- Standard White Inland Northern English. Even the
acronym shows the feelings most folks have toward anything which conflicts
with their own idea of "standard" English.
Before we try to create ANSI English (or ANSI typographical styles), let's
try to settle some easy issues like abortion, capital punishment, or gun
control.
