From Danny's post..
It seems as though the manual was translated and the context was lost during translation!
Danny was writing in the context of the thread. At the risk of thread drift I would suggest that this may a more serious safety issue than we know.
I have seen and spent many days rewriting some appallingly dangerous languistic errors in FOMs and the like, with in the last 10 years. Mostly these are when non-English speakers are writing English, or when they are translating from English into another language (usually when plagiarising another operator's lengthy technical manuals such as FOM's.) The problem is that they are excellent English speakers, but they do not pick up the full meaning from formal written English and do not realise that they have not done so. They lose the context and the real meaning, exactly as Danny wrote, because they translate word by word, sentence by sentence. The grammar is good, but the interpretation is poor.
