Thanks for the replies, ppl, I'm glad to hear there are still other qld tech writers out there! :) Christine, I'd be in for meeting up after work some time. Preferably somewhere I can get a decent coffee with soy milk in it. Any day of the week except Wednesday. Jean, regarding courses - part of the reason I went looking for this list was to see if I could get help with courses/books suitable for tech writing. In particular, I could really use a solid grounding in English grammar. I have a fair idea of how to construct a relatively grammatical sentence, but thanks to the NSW school system switching grammar from high school to middle primary as I went through my last year of primary school... I know very few of the actual rules. I don't think I can improve much more as a tech writer without that grounding. So... any ideas, anyone? My employer has expressed some willingness to help out with costs involved. - Naomi > Hi Naomi > > Your mail it seems to have found me although I was never sure I was > properly enlisted. > > But I really only remember the list functioning much when people were > getting together. > > So should we go ahead and organise a meeting for after work some > night?
