About that Usage Guide
About a week ago, I asked if anyone knew of a usage guide oriented towards
software documentation. No one recommended a guide, but several people asked me
to let them know if we found such a guide.
Unfortunately, we haven't found one yet. The _Microsoft Press Computer
Dictionary_ does include usage notes in some of its definitions, but those
notes are geared towards Microsoft-specific terminology.
