Fractured Instructions

We all buy stuff that comes with instructions. If you're like me, you usually ignore them. Still, there are times when you just have to check the instruction pamphlet. If the product is made in Asia, the instructions can be frustrating &/or hilarious. Here are a few examples:

• For a pair of bicycle gloves (made in China). Not so much actual instructions, but pointing out the features:
• SBR materials can protect your finger joints and wrists much more better.
• Skid-proof and hard-wearing materials for more security and comfortable of ride.
• Silica gel printing technology for additional friction force and reducing the probability of skipping handlebars.
• Thickening palm pad for reducing hand shock on bump road effectively.
• Breathable holes design for additional heat release function.
• Sweat absorbent materials for absorbing more sweat from sports.
• Velcro using for fixing and adjusting tightness adds more sense of security. 
• Tailor in three dimensional.
• For a dental pick (Made in China):
• Please rinse with mild water if there is a slight oral bleeding during use.
• Please keep this manual in a safe place and away from children. 
• A fitness tracker:
• Please fit the adjusting holes according to your wrist size , and then do up the wristband buckle ;
• Please ensure the band has enough battery at your first time using it.
• In connected state , click the "Looking for band" option , the band will vibrate to cause your attention.
• Note: The band will track sleeping status only when you wore it during your sleep.
• A bluetooth headset:
• The light indicator will turn into red when charging.
• The red light indicator goes out and turn into green when charging completed.

I'm not sure if these Asian companies use a digital translator or someone who has studied English for one semester or less. Either way, it seems like there is a market for translators who actually speak the language. 

I feel certain that there will be additional posts on this theme.
