| Feb 19, 2011 at 9:48 | comment | added | Gennady Vanin Геннадий Ванин | @psmears, 1) I always have one, the main and only question which is in the title. All the rest is just sunshines of distracted mind, please ignore them. 1a)I cannot change my question. I was accused and banned earlier in other SE sites for this though I have never done it; I only append updates, but this will blow the question even more; 2)There is no point in aspiring/pretending to know all the words of a language. There are dictionaries for this | |
| Feb 19, 2011 at 8:37 | comment | added | psmears | (1) Could you clarify (by editing) whether you mean "technical copywriting" (as in the title) or "technical writing" (as in the first sentence)? The two are not the same :). (2) Yes, I do know people who wouldn't know the term RAM in a non-ovine sense. But more importantly, even the majority that would recognise the word would be hard pressed to say what it actually means - just as most people would be able to tell you that a carburetor is part of a car, but couldn't tell you what it does or even what it looks like :) | |

| Feb 17, 2011 at 5:45 | comment | added | Gennady Vanin Геннадий Ванин | @FX_, you asked me exactly for what (disperse my writings between different answers instead of concentrating them in my main question) I received my first ban in SE (more exactly in ServerFault) but it was promptly proliferated. Wanna copy of Email from moderator? | |
| Feb 16, 2011 at 16:43 | comment | added | F'x | @vgv8, please use comments to ask questions below answers and comments. As is, reading your question above for the first time requires me to read patches of text all over the page before I can understand anything. | |
| Feb 16, 2011 at 15:24 | comment | added | Gennady Vanin Геннадий Ванин | My question is in the title. All other questions are for authors of the answers and comments | |
| Feb 16, 2011 at 11:20 | comment | added | F'x | Your “question” contains 10 actual questions, resulting in quite low readability. Please focus your questions, for the benefit of all of us (you included)! | |
