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.
I'm with the group that advocates rewriting a sentence to avoid the
he/she/their single pronoun problem. I rarely am presented with a sentence
that I can't rewrite in a way that avoid the problem without introducing a
different problem. Sometimes it's a bit hard to do out of context, and once
in a while I get one that stumps me (though usually that's at the end of a
long day and my creative abilities aren't up to speed), but that's very rare.
