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.
Just to make sure we're on the same sheet of music, I wasn't
putting down mil spec manuals. Maybe you missed the army.mil part of
my email address. I've been employed by the Army for almost 23 years.
I *will* say that military writing in general (not necessarily by
professional writers) used to be horrendous, but has improved
considerably in the last decade.
My apologies for not making myself clear. I was adding my comments to the
thread in general, not aiming them at Bev in particular. I'm one of those
who still remember Bev's "huachua" address. ;{>}
Have fun,
