Technical Editing/Grammar Assignment
Hi, all! I'm very new to this site, but I like it so far. I've poked around the forums a bit and I think you can help me. I am in a technical editing class that I absolutely adore (grammar is my first love) and two friends and I are currently working on a presentation for the class.
We've decided to look at the role of grammar in technical editing, and how the use of technology may be affecting it. (Our thesis: When looking at the impact grammar has on technical editing a look at past problems, common issues, and finding a commonality between the two [technical editing and grammar] has to be examined.)
The bit they've asked me to research is the "commonality" of grammar. So my question to you is this: what is the "commonality", how would you describe it, and where do you suggest I look for more information?
Thanks in advance!
