I guess like anything else a "title" does not mean the same thing to different people. On the other hand, I would much rather work with a "gloried typist" tech writer than some of the "documentation engineer" tech writers I have dealt with in the past. Personally, as long as someone does their job well and carries their share of the load...they can call themselves whatever they want...as long as they do not call themselve "Don't do anything and make me do it"
