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.
I really like a book that your 12 year old boy child might go for. It's
"Questions you always wanted to ask about English
(but were afraid to raise your hand)" by Maxwell Nurnberg
It is a "lively and humorous guide to English usage" (wording from front
cover). English usage, vocabulary, spelling and punctuation are covered
and the following excerpts (from the back cover) are an indication of the
fun way in which the author presents the subject matter to the reader:
"In which case has the dog the upper paw?
(a) A clever dog knows its master.
(b) A clever dog knows it's master.
Which required greater imagination?
(a) I lay on the psychiatrist's couch for almost an hour.
(b) I lied on the psychiatrist's couch for almost an hour."
I can wholeheartedly recommend this one.
