Technical writing
JIM
Way off the subject of this thread however your comment to
Ann about her great writing skills reminded me of a time a long ago when I was involved in helping write a paper on the Nuclear water chemistry at a Nuclear Power plant.
The words that I used were not acceptable, reason was that the paper had to be written to the most knowledgeable person in the field and had to be written "over his head", all for impression sake and not to convey any information/knowledge to the lay public.
Ann has the ability to convey information to us dummies ( me that is) and I thank her as well as you for it, you also have the ability to not only convey information in understandable terms but to also smooth the feathers of the forum folks from time to time.
Will be back on subject matter when I return from taking my wife to the SEC woman's basketball tournment.
Be back next week
Gene
