I was going to use a copyediting test as a sample of my technical/medical
writing skills. I wanted to show what it looked like when I got it and then how
it looked after I fixed it. Before and after. Someone said I shouldn't do that
because it might violate copyright. I wasn't going to identify the entity that
gave me the test. I was simply going to show the text itself, which is merely a
list of sentences and a few paragraphs. I was still advised against it. What do
folks think? What do you do about generating samples of technical/medical
writing?
