Sorry for barging in late on this thread, I've been away for a few days
and am catching up on my email.

As for the comment below: isn't that where we started, about 50 or so
years ago? The way the story was told to me was that technical writing
arose as a profession because engineers were (at that time) such lousy
writers. I remember courses in college with a title like "English for
Engineers," as if it were any different than the English the rest of us
used.
