incredibly boring–i.e. technical writing, which I understand to be taking horribly boring technical jargon and translating it into horribly boring baby-talk

There’s another thread on this here in the GQ section, where technical authors dispel this stereotype. It’s what I do, and it’s nothing like that. **

I’ll search for the thread. Thanks.
