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. = Cheers = Geoffrey Marnell Principal Consultant Abelard Consulting Pty Ltd T: (+61 3) 9596 3456 F: (+61 3) 9596 3625 W: http://www.abelard.com.au <http://www.abelard.com.au/> = = = ************************************************** To view the austechwriter archives, go to www.freelists.org/archives/austec= hwriter To unsubscribe, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with = "unsubscribe" in the Subject field (without quotes).
