Badly translated instructions for a LED PIR floodlight

Spot on, 'Hawk'!

Thank you for taking my comment in a friendly manner as intended. :-)

Stay safe.

[David_B]

Ha!

Reminds me of "I'll kick you down the stairs" said the man with no legs! ;-)

[Commander Kinsey]

Please do not write that phrase. I've put almost every combination into my adblockers so I don't see that bullshit on websites.

[Commander Kinsey]

I notice they've removed the messages about the virus from the motorway signs. They all said yellow weather warning on sunday, which I assume referred to the light rain I got for a few hours a bit later.

[Commander Kinsey]

What appendage was used then?

[David_B]

I believe you are mistaken, Mr Peel. :-P

Posts by the Commander invariably amuse me! :-D

I think Spanish and maybe a few other languages have genders for some words. Good old USA wants to make every thing gender neutral, even the restrooms.

An engineer where I worked was German and hardly understandable. Not for the accent, but the wordes he used like torch for flashlight. One fellow at work told him he needed to learn Southern. He said he spoke very good English( which he did, England english) . The worker told him his English maybe perfect, but not Southern USA.

Why were you driving "for a few hours" during this Covid pandemic?

Makes no sense to me!

[Ralph Mowery]

Sure someone has to pay. That is why I said just give the product (if not too expensive like a car, but say under $ 1500) to a couple of college students to translate the manual to good English.

[Commander Kinsey]

A few hours each way to buy a parrot (the closest one available). The "a few hours" written above was the time after I returned before the mild rain started. And what's coronavirus (I refuse to use the scientific name) to do with it? I will travel where I please and ignore all regulations. I will not be a prisoner in my own home. Come on it's gone over 6 months now, it's beyond a joke. And I broke four other laws while driving too :-)

It made sense to me and the family that sold me the parrot, and the woman at the petrol station on the way up who came out to talk to him. None of the above bothered with masks.

[Commander Kinsey]

Which only has to be done once to help sell thousands more of the product. And I'm sure Google Translate would have achieved better than the above.

[David_B]

ANOTHER parrot?!!! How many have you got now?

I didn't know parrots wear masks.

Hawks? Yes - but they are called hoods.

[Ed Pawlowski]

You drive to get someplace. Why not? Your car will not get or spread the virus and you can travel many miles with no contact with anyone.

Sometimes you just have to go. Follow guidelines.

[Ralph Mowery]

Around here a manhole cover is the pad a woman wears when she is on her period.

[Ralph Mowery]

Even worse is Southern Black English.

I am not very well traveled, but I would bet other towns in the US have their own 'English' language.

[Commander Kinsey]

Good point, a parrot would tear the mask up.

[Commander Kinsey]

Agreed, but without the guidelines.

[Commander Kinsey]

This is why women will always be the inferior sex. We don't leak.

[Commander Kinsey]

Other animals don't get periods. They don't make the stuff until their body decides it's going to copulate.

Far canal!
