...one of my pet peeves...

This is a direct quote from the PSR SX900 owners manual:
"Regardless of whether a Song is selected or not, you can view computer-created text files (.txt) on the instrument’s display."
Surely a company as big as Yamaha could hire a writer that knows enough to NOT use a triple redundancy in the owners manual!
My high school English teacher is spinning in her grave right now.

Oh, never mind, the days of using proper English have passed, WHETHERNOT I like it or not.
WHETHERNOT is one of the favorite words that a famous football announcer uses every week on tv.
Throw dirt on me, I'm too old and cranky now . . .

Don, Go ahead and be as cranky as you want...you've earned it

And they did away with cursive writing too!

And replaced it with cursing language !!!

And don't get me started on "the reasonwhy"!

Brought me a sympathetic chuckle this morning... over here in West Mayberry where all the children are average (old men, too!) and the Ladies are a delight to behold. Thanks, Mason... I needed that... and while you are "at it"... use your influence to send badly needed rain and cooler weather!

Have a really "good-'un!"

Sadly, in my business, no one reads anymore. Average screen turn time for someone searching the web: 12 seconds. That means literature (electronic or hard copy) is now primarily using headlines, photos, cutlines and pull quotes, instead of written information.

Brilliant electrical engineers hired by one client can't write their name.

No one articulates their thoughts anymore. It's a twitter world.

How sad!
