Reading the owners manual

[Flyboyron]

I am reading the owners manual, and I noticed one odd sentence, who knows there may be more!

This is for shifting out of reverse on an RT SE6.


To shift out of reverse, stop vehicle and push on upshift selector quickly to shift into neutral and more longer to shift in
first gear.

It must have been the result of the Indonesians, who were translating the manuals into English...

Actually it seems to be true. While holding the selector down, a quicker action on the shifter will bring it to neutral. A longer action on the paddle will put it in first.

That's just a MORE BETTER way of stating the same thing

If you push the button & it works that's all that matters. Ryde safe!!

Congratulations on reading the manual so many people don't bother.

The new American motto is, "Why bother to read the owner's manual when you can ask a question on the internet!"

Be careful: Are you referring to "more gooder"; or "more better"?
There is a subtle difference between the two of them, and I'm not sure if one is actually "gooder', or "better", that the other!

[Flyboyron]

The proper terminology is "More better", or "Less Worse".

That may depend on what part of the Country you live in...

Around here: it has been largely replaced by this:

Residing very close to the W. PA line I believe that it should be "more gooder" or perhaps the most extreme, "Most goodest".

The great thing about this approach is that your answer is potentially a useless or dangerous collection of "internet wisdom". Another case where you really need to have some idea what the real answer should be before you put any credence in the answers you receive. This holds especially true when technical information is requested.

Which brings us to "Mudd's Paradox"...



What do you believe, and when is it safe to believe it?

Hey guys, give Flyboyron a break! He's new here so probably is not familiar with all the jabs and ribs a posting like this will elicit.

Actually, he is pointing out a common problem in translations. Keep in mind the first language in Quebec is French, and they probably do the majority of work at BRP using French, including writing manuals. The person who did the translation is probably not expert in American English, and such phrases as "more longer" are the result. I don't know diddly about French language, but those of you who do can maybe tell me if the French sentence structure might actually be "more longer" when translated literally.

You see some really odd stuff in English manuals that are written by Chinese.
