Translation is better now - remember the horrific engrish from imported things twenty or more years ago?

My beef is more local. I, and many colleagues, wrote procedures for various things. It drove me crazy how apparently engineering school removes one's capacity for using articles of speech. I think that it impedes readability, which is the point of a procedure. Write it as if you were saying it to someone. "...put wrench on nut..." and the like makes me want to day-drink.
