Hello to you all,
Would anybody know a style book on mechanics or
electronics? I'm not sure if such "unusual" books
ever exist. But if they do, I will be greatly helped.
There are countless style books on technical writing
in general, but so far I haven't found one specifically
written for engineering. (the only one I know is MS
Manual of Style is for the computer industry) I'm
especially weak at choosing appropriate verbs.
I always wish if there is any reference that suggests
me which verb to use in a certain technical context.
Do please recommend such books for me.
Many thanks in advance,
