I am an intermediate programmer in PHP and C#. I frequently work with standards like HTML, CSS, Javascript, Flash, and XML.
I enjoy computer games, photography, writing, sci-fi/fantasy, birding, and occasional cooking. (Many of which are topics of SE sites!)

What's the modern way to handle gender in tech writing? I would prefer dropping the pronoun from the first example, as in The user chooses a password, then types it in the text box. |

What's the modern way to handle gender in tech writing? I propose "zhe" as the gender neutral animate pronoun! Ok... I literally just thought of it, looked it up and was very surprised to find that this exact spelling has been proposed before (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_pronoun#Modern_solutions). |

What's the benefit of using invented languages in-story? +1 for "not only sound different, but feel different." I think most authors probably invent words or language in their books for artistic license, to better paint a picture of their characters' race, ethnicity, or culture. |

How do I construct a plot out of my many setting/character details? Not using a plot to avoid similarities and not having a plot yet due to a sort of creative block are two different things. |
