SOME ASPECTS OF TECHNICAL EDITING

Abstract

Before I get on with the business for which I am here this morning, there is one preliminary that I would like to voice. That is that any opinions I may express with regard to editorial or technical‐writing conventions—for I believe it is impossible completely to separate the tasks of the writer and the editor—are my own, and may not necessarily be reflected in the guides or house styles of any particular technical‐publishing organization to which I am, or have been, attached. Indeed, some of the concepts to which I hope to draw attention may be reflected nowhere else at all, at least in print, and if in the ensuing discussion I be roasted for some seeming heresy I thus may not be able to quote chapter and verse for my salvation.
