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.
Louise Penberthy asked for recommendations for a good dictionary. I
bought the American Heritage dictionary when it was first published. I
now have it in the Third Edition. I have seen collegiate versions of
this dictionary that I do not care for. But, I really do enjoy the
8 1/2" x 11" size containing usage information, etymological
references, the Indo-European Roots Appendix, and other interesting
information.
