Originally posted by clackers After a lifetime of dealing with badly translated manuals for consumer electronics and IT products, I now have an affection for these kinds of errors.
In the days when you could buy pirated CDs that were sourced from Malaysia, they often came with inside covers that attempted to transcribe the song lyrics. Fantastic.
Our first year of marriage, we had a "dining fly" {a tent-like cover for picnic table} made in Taiwan; the first time we assembled it, we were confused by the instruction to "tie the flame ties". What flame??
Later, I commented to my wife that the entire thing would be more stable if I tied these things hanging down around the aluminum frame. FRAME TIES!!
