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.
Actually, there's a fun book called Latin for All Occasions, by Henry Beard (or "Henricus Barbatus," as he calls himself). If you insist on using Latin in the 21st century, it's very useful!

I imagine that Latin phrases are also useful in Latin discussions.
