That's what I said. Anything you're not 100% sure is right, you look up

That too. I can't remember the last time I implemented my own hash table or 
sort.

I suspect that's correct, yes.

Spelling is technique. It's like leaving the semicolon off the end of a 
statement in a programming language.

Trust me. Unless you have actual scientists there (i.e., folks who try to 
publish papers in journals rather than filling out forms that are the 
results of lab tests), you're probably the best writer in your company, 
would be my guess.

Go to one of the marketing people and ask them to spend 20 minutes to write 
a one-page document on exactly what your company does for a living. :-)
