    I used to work as a technical writer and I always got shat on by engineers who worked along the lines of “real men don’t write documentation”. But those guys won’t read this because reading is just too hard for them.

      I guess I’m not a real man. I read documentation as a hobby. Started with Legos, and now it’s reading component i2s communication tables…

        I’m not saying all engineers are like that. I’ve met a few capable ones. But the mediocre and less than mediocre ones usually have the biggest chips on their shoulders.

          Technically the word LEGO® is always written in full capitals because it’s a trademark.

          The LEGO name is always spelled in all capital letters and the bricks (and/or elements) must always be referred to as “LEGO bricks” (or “LEGO elements”) – never “LEGOs” or “legos”.

          And

          The first time the Trademarks appear in a headline and in the following text, they should be accompanied by the relevant symbol: the LEGO trademark and SERIOUS PLAY by the ®symbol

          Thereafter, the symbols need not to be used more on the same page, or in the same chapter.
