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.
This is related to the subject of this thread, but turns it around, meaning technically true but perceptually wrong. My daughter recently got a toy (a little bug creature that spins around and does a "simon Says" kind of routine. I read the instructions on how to use it, mostly because they were short and I was curious. Anyway, at the end of the instructions (which were bulleted, ick) there was a note that said "When finished, ensure the On/Off switch is placed in the Off position." or something like that. Why couldn't they just say, Be sure to turn it off when you're done playing with it???
