[Stc-ac] metrication policies and practices

[Ron Stone]

Topics of metrication that may be relevant to scientific and technical  
communicators include standards of style and usage, and issues of  
translation or localization.

My article "Metrication policies and technical communication"  
summarizes a current state of metrication for technical communication.

Issue 2008-3 of _The Exchange_ STC SciComm SIG:

     PDF version: http://www.stcsig.org/sc/newsletter/pdf/2008-3.pdf

Although the metric system of measurement is sometimes mentioned in  
reference books used by technical communicators, there does not yet  
appear to be a comprehensive survey of metrication policies and  
practices for technical communication.


Best wishes for a productive metrication month, week, and day!

Cheers!

Ron
