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.
Thanks for an article that provides a detailed tour into the
mysteries of those two crazy terms, prescriptivist and descriptivist,
and which also brings a nice introduction to related writings on
linguistics. Certainly, anyone who wants to go beyond the good
introduction you provide could use your piece to build a good
springboard into the subject.
