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.
My favorite is when SMEs just write "Wrong" next to a paragraph. Sheesh.
Not that I mind getting the correction, it's just that it takes so long
to pry the correct information out of them when they just as easily
could have scribbled something terse next to the comment so I could have
followed through - often without having to bother them (which they
always seem to resent).
