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.
We're trying to choose a dictionary for our department and would like
to hear from you if you either love or hate the one you have.
We would prefer a fairly prescriptive dictionary - one that doesn't
list misspellings. However, we don't necessarily want the most
scholarly or the most intellectual, or one with fancy etymology. We
just need an easy-to-use, accurate, down to earth, day-in, day-out
dictionary. It doesn't even have to be strong in the technical words
category, since we will probably get another book for that purpose.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
