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.
English as a Foreign Language/Second Language reference books are also very
useful. I currently have Cambridge Univerity Press' _Advanced Grammar in
Use_ on my desk, and it is much thumbed whenever a grammar question arises.
These types of books are useful because they go into a lot more depth than
guides that assume a native speaker audience. For example, EFL references
will cover the use of different prepositions very thoroughly.
Mine was also much cheaper than I expected: EUR18.90.
Of course, you can buy one with answers included and test yourself for
fluency :-)
If your not a native speaker of English, I would _definitely_ recommend
having one of these on your desk.
