Michael Markel gives the following definition: "Technical writing conveys specific information about a technical subject to a specific audience for a specific purpose." This is very true, technical writing does speak about a specific thing, to a specific audience, for a specific purpose, and thats why it is so effective. This way of writing is used in so many different work places. It is used in everything from a resume to a memo to instruction manuals. Using this type of writing helps get across information in a direct way. You do not need to "fluff" the information you are writing about, because you are suppose to be specific and to the point. This way of writing has become extremely popular in all work places and is important for everyone to know how to use it correctly. Technical writing a special way of writing that is structured in a way that is easy to read and appeals to most readers. This way of writing is specific and concise so that there is no "reading between the lines". This is thought to be one of the most effective ways of writing because it is most easily understood.
