Hi austechies,
 =

Does anyone know if a simplified English is used anywhere in the mining
industry in Australia? By "simplified English" I mean a controlled sub-set
of English vocabulary and grammar from which technical writers in the
industry shall not deviate. The European Aerospace industry has one; Boeing=

has one; and Caterpillar was, I think, the first to develop one.
