atw: Re: Antonym for assemble

Tracey, just ask yourself (or find out) what word your intended audience would 
best understand.  Then use that.  Your eventual readers are, afterall, the 
whole purpose of what you are doing.  Keep the faith.  If you suffer internal 
strife with your masters because of your choice of word, then such is the life 
of one who creates pieces of paper, as opposed to those who just move pieces of 
paper written by others across their desk. If you can manage to salvage 
something for your readers you will be a good servant to your craft.  All best.

  Subject: atw: Antonym for assemble


  I am writing a training manual using a product manual as a source document.  
The source document frequently uses the term disassembly - meaning to take 
equipment apart.  I cannot find this term in any of my reference documents and 
believe the antonym for assembly is disband. Can anyone confirm/deny or offer 
advice on this matter?
