Myths:
Engineer: Tech writers are failed engineer wannabes who seem to think comma
placement is more important than the quality of the program/ bridge/other
misc. product.
Tech Writer: Engineers are yutzes with inflated egos who barely know which
end of a pen to hold.
Reality:
A great way to feel good about yourself is to believe that only a select
group of people can do what you do.
