SNIP:
writting skills are of RELATIVELY minor importance in technical
communications.
I think you are exaggerating big time! I haven't thought about it enough to
decide
whether totally pictoral communication is best for procedures, but I'll give
you that. However, technical communication includes a GREAT DEAL MORE than
just
directions on how to use, put together, etc. a widget.
