Technical Writing

"Technical" refers to procedures. "Writing", obviously, is written communication. In combination, technical writing refers to written communication of procedures. In my personal life, I would use the term "technical" to mean specific. I think it carries the same meaning in reference to writing. When writing a procedure or information communication, the key to accuracy is being specific. In the professional realm, the term technical carries more serious weight than in mosat people's personal life. When making a personal communication, expectations aren't usually as great as making a professional communication. Most professional communications are directed at a specific audience of other professionals.
