They printed a "best of" in June, but I just got the mag free from the library.
Anyway:
"Manuals that have been lost in translation:
Our favorite:
Intending to identify a screw, an electronic-keyboard pamphlet from Yamaha used an entirely different Anglo-Saxon word."
My personal 2nd fav is pictoral, but I will attempt to convey it:
in large lettering on one of those placed-letters signboards in front of some establishment:
"EAT HERE
& GET
WORMS"
Aw, the board's auto-incorrect isn't allowing me to replicate the lettering placement
