While researching the word "technical,"I came to the conclusion that this word refers to the skill and knowlege in a specific field of expertise. Technical can also be related with words that are used in a mechanical or scientific field and developing the skills to gain full knowledge.

When I think of writing, I usually think of putting one's thoughts into words. Books, magazines, newspapers, novels and poems usually spring to mind. It is a way of communication where one can reveal information and messages to others without actually talking.

Technical writing is prominent in my field of study: nutrition. Nutritionists use technical writing by writing case assessments of a particular patient to explain past history and make future diet plans. Nutrtionists also research and write articles on a variety of findings in their field. They also direct patients and describe to them the correct nutrtioin plan that is right for them. Writing that I do personally is much different than the writing that nutritionists do. Most of the time when I write, I usually only compose required long papers for courses or I write causal emails to catch up with friends and family. As you can see, this type of writing differs greatly from the type of writing in my professional field.
