I offered to go through it and remove all the incorrect apostrophes. Crickets. It would be improved somewhat by correcting the bad apostrophe use. It’s a PDF document. How effing hard is it to correct it and repost online? Sheesh.

Unfortunately, proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and - most importantly - proofreading are a thing of the past these days. However, life is too short to get stressed by this stuff, so I usually just sigh and move on…

Reading rebreather manual at lunch. Man, is this painful to read. Death by a thousand apostrophes I’ve mentioned before. How they ever let this get released to the public, we’ll never know.

Yeah, you couldn’t pay me to read that. You could literally pay me the course cost, and no.

Kim/Mike/etc definitely don’t know who you are…

Who cares? It’s a suggestion on improving their content. Would be at least something to look into.

Poorly written stuff seems to be pretty common - some of the online course material for the SDI Computer Nitrox course was just painful.

Sense they have been purchased by the Darkwater Group I believe they are in the process of creating new manuals and training standards already.

If you have met Mike you would understand. I believe he is way more into the engineering than the documentation. The best engineers are horrible writers I say. Mostly as I feel I fall into this category, but for me it is spelling and structure rather than apostrophes.

The Darkwater Group officially acquires KISS

Almost one year ago, KISS rebreathers and The Darkwater Group agreed terms, and now the transition is finally complete.

Just found out Kiss said they will ship my unit early to arrive 9/17 (Saturday). Training will start 9/18.

I have a rebreather warming gift from a friend of purple loop hose covers. He was making covers for his unit and did ones for me at the same time.
