Subject:not wanted--technical writers From:Katherin King <kking -at- BROOKTROUT -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 16 Dec 1997 11:36:54 -0500
I don't know what "technical writers" they were looking at, but I was
hired because I write in plain English. My "technical" documentation is
written in a conversational style that people can actually understand.
From what I understand, a lot of the gobbledeegook is written by
non-technical "writers."
