Technical writing doesn't have to be stuffy. As a freelance technical writer, I offer these examples from my archives...
Do your pneumatic actuator a favor. Introduce it to electronic control. Once it flirts with improved accuracy, it'll never be the same.
Nuts and bolts may appear lifeless, but they're just itching for the chance to break loose. They are particularly restless when it comes to industrial environments. If they are not held in place with required torque, nuts and bolts will struggle free like Houdini in a straitjacket.
As phrases go, "refined risk classification" is a sleeping giant. On the surface, it would bore most people to tears. But if they realized how it affects their health insurance coverage and premium, they'd probably have some pretty strong opinions.
Technical Writing
My approach to technical writing is simple. Grab the reader's attention in a surprising way and never stray from the core message. Just like everyone else, readers of technical trade publications are pressed for time and my precious article is competing for their attention. In the small window I'm given, I have to keep their eyeballs from straying and give them useful information so they can get promoted, make huge amounts of money and contribute to world peace. Or maybe just be more productive. Who knows?
