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.
@Phil: Sounds like a good exercise for an English class is have
students swap essays to revise them.
@Andrew Plato: do your templates include word or character counts? A
constraint of so many words, or so many characters, would cut back on
some blather just by enforcing economy.

yet" is a better answer.
