OK, so I fell for it 8-)
There was an element of seriousness in it though
- we do see some/all of those occurances. But it does offer a point of
discussion - just how much reality should be injected into a technical
writing program and when. David said it would be for a JC class, usually
equivalent to the first two years of a four-year-plus university
program. It would be inappropriate for the usual JC level.
