IT news site The Register has posted some
examples of incomprehensible English in the
doc for a USB drive, and has asked readers
to send in their own examples:

As they say:
"We hasten to add that our own personal language-
translation skills would leave us helpless in China,
Singapore, or Middle-Earth, but it does seem in this
global economy the services of a proofreader might
rate a bit higher on a manufacturer's priority list.
