Subject:What's in a name? From:Tammy Sudol <tammy -at- M3ISYSTEMS -dot- QC -dot- CA> Date:Thu, 30 Mar 1995 10:29:06 -0500
When someone asks me what I do for a living, I tell them that I'm a technical
writer. When I see the blank look on their face, I tell them that I write
technical information about software. The blank look goes away, and is
often replaced with a look of respect.
I'm very proud to call myself a technical writer.
