TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Here's a good poser for the next time you get into a discussion with a
few techwhirler friends. We all know that an oxymoron is a
self-contradictory word pair (e.g., military intelligence, with
apologies to Bev and others... no slight intended). But did you know
that one-word oxymorons exist? For example: "posthaste". Any others
lurking out there?
