<<List the reference books (maximum of five) that you use most
frequently.>>
Mirriam-Webster
Fowler
Strunk & White
Whatever technical reference I need to find the answer(s)
<<In one sentence, summarize or list the kind(s) of writing you do. (i.e.
manuals, help systems, marketing, fiction, humor, journalism, weird sig
lines, etc.)>>
User guides, online help, programmer's guides, system descriptions,
operating procedures, and anything else my boss and/or clients want and are
willing to pay for. At home: whatever amuses me.
<<Are you a dog person or a cat person?>>
Don't see much point to feeding an animal one doesn't intend to eat.
Diet Coke? Blah. Quoting Spenser (no, the *other* Spenser): "The worst beer
I ever had was wonderful."
Al "Why settle for six-pack abs, when you can have a keg?" Miller
