RE: Definition of Tech Writer, was STC is broken

["Bonnie Granat" <bgranat -at- granatedit -dot- com>]

Don't ask me why, but I want to go on record as thinking that while there is
such a thing as technical communication, calling someone a technical
communicator shows a lack of ability to communicate and is just downright
silly. It says nothing at all meaningful to one who reads it or hears it. It
demands fleshing out, so it's basically -- or should be -- antithetical to
anyone who's involved in using language with precision.

I will never be a technical communicator (I hope).
