wetb4, OK I agree on no excuse for any confusing wording in materials. Like when you look at your cable or satellite "guide" and the show it says for 8 P.M. isn't on--something else is. They surely have someone in charge of that sort of thing (probably need no more than one person). I've seen odd stuff here & there in PADI manuals that escaped proof-reading. I recently had my book published (2018) and won't get into how many typos the PUBLISHER made and expected me to approve. I found that made exactly one spelling mistake compared to maybe over 70 for them in converting my manuscript.
Oh, one of my favourites in the 2006 EFR manual is (even though you do know what it means)--
"Responder takes the first breath (of O2) but doesn't exhale". I ask-- EVER??!! It's a small manual--did no one ever think this is oddly funny when proof reading?
