Well. Ivan...why DO you want to be a technical writer?

You cannot use my reason just like I wouldn't be able
to use yours. That's like someone trying to tell you
what the best color is without any additional
information.

The issue is not what is the right answer to this
question, but what are you doing wrong that answerng a
question like that makes you look like an idiot. If
you cannot answer a question like this with the truth
without looking like an idiot, chances are you look
like an idot when answering other questions too.

So, how are you answering it?
