Default Lost in translation.

Here’s an opportunity to brighten the day by, for a change, chuckling with our oriental cousins at their overwhelmingly polite and courteous insistence on helpful instructions. The ‘How to’ principle which brightened up my day no end:

I’ve just bought a battery box cover to replace the one that came with the car because of some previous spillage that was spoiling it. The delightful wording of the ‘mounting and dismounting instructions’ are the perfect way to use the item especially in the final position. The reference to 'at last' rather than 'finally' is, at best, reminiscent.

Please, resist the temptation to read into the ‘mounting and dismounting instructions’ the innocent connotations that I’m sure were not intended. I wonder if anyone in the factory actually knew but decided not to do anything. Even ‘How To Dismount'. Inscrutable or what.

Most don't come with instructions - why most get broken.....

Yes Jon, in the top address bar at the far right I have four options.
A star for 'Hub', a scribble for 'Notes', an arrow for' 'Share', and a line of dots for Settings. That has a Zoom option. Anything tech, I'm your man. Not.
