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.
When replying to a message, can we puh-leeeze resist the desire to
rewrite someone's subject line? It's a lot easier for us to follow
message threads when people don't arbitrarily change subject lines.
A recent example is the morphing of "Help with a strong word" into
"That strong word." Why?
thank you for listening.
