4.9.7. Who Else Benefits from Terminology?

Terminology helps anyone who wants to communicate clearly as well as those on the receiving end of the communication, even though they might not even notice. How often do you notice how clear, concise and coherent a text is? But how often do you notice that you're having trouble trying to assemble something by following instructions in a lengthy, confusing and inconsistent manual?

Terminology helps translators, interpreters, technical writers, lawmakers, law enforcement officers, health care providers, students, researchers, localization providers, standards organizations, governments, corporations large and small and every field of endeavour that uses language.
