Profession

When it comes to legal text, the technical writer’s first rule is simple:

Do not change any text that a lawyer wrote.

There are legal reasons why disclaimers, copyright notices, privacy policies, and other examples of fine print were phrased the way they were. Under no circumstances do you “clean them up” after the lawyers are done. No revisions.

Your superpower is communication. Theirs is the law. Law trumps communication.

Can anyone write?

That depends. It depends on what word you mean when you say “write.” Do you mean “make letters on a surface”? Or some other definition?

“Can anyone write?” is a subject for a longer post. I’ll get around to writing it. Someday. Let’s ask the question a different way:

Can anyone be a writer?

No.

I own a phone with a built-in camera. I sometimes use that camera to take photographs. That does not make me a photographer.
