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

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
of English vocabulary and grammar from which technical writers in the
industry shall not deviate. The European Aerospace industry has one; =
Boeing=3D
has one; and Caterpillar was, I think, the first to develop one. =3D
Cheers
