Welcome to The Technical Writer Blog! As this is the first post, there’s not much to say. I will be posting roughly everyday (hopefully more often!), and including information about technical writing, communication and documentation, including language and grammar.

I’ve run across some other blogs that talk about poor usage in everyday life:

• The Abuse Of Apostrophes In Everyday Life
• The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks
• Apostrophe Catastrophes
• The Grammarphobia Blog

They may not be the best, but they’re fun. I’m not sure why the poor apostrophe gets so much attention, nor, indeed, why it’s so hard to use.

I’ve added the above blogs to the blogroll, but I’ll try to make sure it [my adding to the blogroll, and I guess the blogroll itself] doesn’t get out of control.
