In my experience writing for the automotive industry I have found =

Hi austechies,
 =3D

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

Boeing=3D

has one; and Caterpillar was, I think, the first to develop one.  =3D
