Re: Tech Writer Certification

[Chris Borokowski <athloi -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

To my mind, what distinguishes a technical writer is
the ability to pick up any discipline and explain it
to others. We're communicators. Some would like to
make it a technical degree, but that's probably
foolish. It's a field for those who straddle liberal
arts and sciences.
