It seems every senior level tech writer has a pet issue he'd like other

skills in tech writers--that issue has been fought hammer and tongs for
years until us pro-design types have been given the "font fondler"
moniker.

In that same spirit, we need to find a term for those who tilt at
certification windmills, how about "certifiables"?


Spelling pedants = typochondriacs

TQM lovers = qualitologists

Bosses who deeply scrutinize your writing, replace it with their own, and thereby make the product worse:
micromanglers

any more?
