[QuadList] Oh Learned Folk

[Bill Carpenter]

 Hi John,

From my experience with Ampex, where we served the Worldwide marketplace, I 
would use the two words or
two words with a separator version, since it allows the readers who understand 
Television, but where English may be their second or third Language, and 
probably their weakest, to better understand the concept you are presenting.

I gave papers all over the World, and good, understandable, translation of 
technical subjects is very difficult, most of the time.

As many of you know by now I have been writing a book called "Timeline" since 
2006

It is a comprehensive look at electronic editing's history from 1956-2010
gleaned from interviews with many of the main players

I am in the text edit phase of the project which runs to 600 pages. 
Apart from the obvious differences between the U.S and Europe in spelling terms 
like color and colour, or edit suite versus edit bay

I was wondering what we as a group thought about:

Off-line versus Offline, Post-production vs. Postproduction?

It may seem obvious but the various reference points like company product 
literature, 
newspaper and magazine reports from the era and general interviews are all at 
odds
with each other. 

Thanks
John
