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'm new to the group, so I apologize if this is a newbie question....
I'm working on a list of terms to avoid (or at least explain) when
communicating with a non-technical audience. (Not so much for me, but I
think it's helpful to provide information and resources to help other
staff communicate as effectively as possible.)
I've started compiling my own -- client, versioning, "legacy systems,"
etc. -- but I'm hoping someone has already done this.
Is anyone aware of a similar list they'd be willing to share?
