[Gllug] Monthly GLLUG grammar report

On Tue 26 Nov, John Winters bloviated thus:

I suspect there is no shortage of such examples and a shortage of the
opposite example.  The problem is that _NO_ company has enough
knowledgable, well-paid, happy technical writers.  We're always
overworked, underpaid and surly.  Many also aren't particularly
technical, which can be good or bad.

> Speaking as an Oxford graduate, I think your viewpoint is a little
> deluded.

You're probably right, it's just that my impression of people with
public school then oxbridge education is an expectation that
opportunity will fall in their lap.  It's a gross generalisation, of
course, and probably says more about me than the state of the world in
which I live.  Good ol' Aussie tall poppy syndrome.
