Abstract
The authors present a practical definition and taxonomy of technical writing. The taxonomy allows actual referents to differentiate technical, business, and scientific writing. The author also describes a structured exercise than can be used with students or professionals to demonstrate tangibly the attributes that segregate technical writing from the other writing classifications
