Being a tech writer in high tech, one thing I’ve learned is to communicate in the same language. Learn the language, then you know you are communicating the right message. Also, if you are both speaking the same language, there is less room for miscommunication and misunderstandinging. To that end, here is my very first attempt to speak the language of software design engineers:
~~~~~~~~~~
main ()
{
printf(“WARNING: SHAMELESS SOLICITATION\n)”;
if (you_have_been_affected_by_breast_cancer() )
{
click(here);
}
else if (you_know_somebody_who_()
has_been_affected_by_breast_cancer() )
{
click(here);
}
else (if_you_just_believe_every_woman_should_()
have_healthy_and_therefore_perfect_breasts() )
{
click(here);
}
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK. Now, I’ll just sit back and let the comments fall where they may…whatever it takes. I’ll take the sideways comments for a good cause.
