Right on James.
(Am I showing my age?)
I like the list...I really do...but I just listen and don't comment because I
worry about the impression an unnoticed grammer mistake might give the writers
(not engineers) on the list. Its bad enough that I have to tax my technician's
(not writer's) brain struggling with things like acting voice and split
infinkitives, trading off the desire to write correctly against the "can't be
missed" deadlines.
