RE: What Are Writing Skills?

["Oja, W. Kelly" <w -dot- kelly -dot- oja -at- verizon -dot- com>]

It might be that I am currently on a antibiotic cocktail, mebbe because
I have been to Missouri a time or two. I just do not know what Yourdon
is saying in this quote provided to us by Mr. Markos:

"In terms of documenting systems, of course English Departments don't
understand how to structure documentation!  As Ed Yourdon (Data Flow
Diagram guru) teaches: Systems are multidimensional; English (text) is
one dimensional; it is not possible to effectively document a
multidemensional system using single dimensionsional text."

I am not trying to be a wise guy by the way.
