TrevorD

Interested in English, its nuances and misuse (or even abuse!), and its transatlantic differences.
Was a patent attorney writing patent specifications, which needed to comply with legal requirements and be unambiguous - or sometime intentionally ambiguous!
Have also been involved in designing computer screen displays and web pages for comprehensiveness, user-friendliness, and lack of ambiguity.
