<p>"It is still not clear why you think that a multi-page document (which is not mostly charts, diagrams, or lists) on an engineering subject is not “writing”. An engineer who has to explain an idea to either other engineers or non-engineers has to write down the explanation in a way that is clear and easy to read by the intended audience.</p>
<p>Yes, the type of writing in the above cases may be somewhat different from how one would write about English literature, but how is it not “writing”?"</p>
<p>OK, it’s writing, If you like.</p>
<p>I was just pointing out the difference. There IS a difference. The amount and level of prose needed is not comparable to many other areas.</p>
