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.
Interesting in theory, but this scheme falls apart completely if you have
to edit the document and insert a paragraph here or there that upsets the
carefully crafted he/she balance.
How about delivering the documentation via Inter, intra, or extranet. Use
cookies to identify users who prefer "he" or "she" or "the user" or "the
person" or "the individual" or "h/she" or "s/he" or "he/she" or "he or she"
or "they" or "y'all."
Let them view or print the documentation in their own choice of personal
pronouns.
