Simplified Technical English

[Eddie Hollon <eddiehollon -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Hello all,

I am looking for some professional opinions. Does
anyone think it viable (or practical) to use
Simplified Technical English in a non-aerospace
environment? I have looked at STE and it seems too
rigorous for my current environment. I think using
controlled vocabularies may be a step in the right
direction, but imposing the rules of the STE standards
seems like overkill.

Has anyone on the list worked with STE outside of the
aerospace industry? If so, what are your reactions?
Did it help? Did writers have difficulties working
within the rules? Was the vocabulary too limited for
the environment?

Many thanks in advance.

Eddie Hollon
