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.
In some areas of the world, polygamy is legal. For an email going to
a professional list, would you create an email address
"Im_a_polygamist -at- xxx -dot- com" and not expect an adverse reaction?
We talk all the time about words or phrasing in a document that are
translated into other languages and the impact of the translated word
on the reader, not just the local writer. This is part of what we do.
Sometime you have to think about the impact of what you show other
people.
In this country, there is NO place where it is legal...thanks to the
Feds who recently outlawed growing it even for medical reasons.
I've apologized to people and to the list before...this time I
decline.
