Hi!
My name is Philip Bernick, and I'm a graduate student at New Mexico
State University--and currently working for NEC Corporation in Tokyo
Japan. All standard disclaimers apply (don't hold NEC responsible
for what I say...) Anyway, my question has to do with labels. I
realize that this is a "technical writing" list, but I'm wondering
whether the readers of this list make a distinction between technical
writing, and technical communication, and if so, what that distinction
is. If you'd rather not post to the list, just email to me and I'll
summarize later.
