Most of the time the "english" in these manuals looks like its been typed by someone who was trying to learn the language at the time. Or to use a more fitting quote from space cowboys.
[quote:2299a]Those instructions were written by a fellow in Japan when they made this damn thing. They were probably translated by some gringo who was an expatriate American that couldn't get a job in this country. And then the Japanese guy probably translated him just to double check on him. You don't need these instructions. [/quote:2299a]

In my college books I find a lot of grammatical errors. Small things though like...for example the word Extra, would be typed like Exrat...

Look at it from the company's perspective. Would you rather include instructions in a foreing language, or have that foreigner who can't understand the english directions call you and ask for help in their difficult to understand foreign accent...
