Re: What do you guys think of STCs new definition for technicalwriter?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Generally speaking, anytime someone looking up a
definition for something finds that it contains terms
whose own definitions have to be looked up, it's a
bad thing.  In the case of a occupational definition
whose purpose to inform people who are not now
knowledgable about the occupation, if people who
are actually in it now don't immediately recognize
and understand the terms, it's a *really bad thing.*
