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.
When I was a senior in high school I took advanced physics. We had
a test right before Christmas break, and my teacher told us all to
read the test carefully. I don't know why I did, but I did.
The last "question" on the test was: "Forget the rest of the questions.
Put your test face down and sit in your seat for one minute. Then you
can leave. If you follow these directions you will get an A. Merry
Christmas."
Luckily I read everything and I was the only person in the class
who got an A. Now I read everything completely.
