Subject: RE: BS: What means bigot?
robomatic, thanks. I might have read that before but even if yes it is still very good for a laugh. It is made up (too good to be true), but all too often we read similar sentences in manuals. The best advice for manuals from the far East is to read the English version. One word they never get right is the word 'power' (when speaking about electricity). They invariably use 'Kraft'(strength or force): "One, make safe you have put on with the force."

BTW, why is a Handy called a Handy? (You have to know Suebian German to get it). The first time a Suebian saw a Handy he said: "Hen di koi Schnur?"
