IT'S OK for you youngsters using computers, digital cameras, and the like. The instructions are written by guys in their late teens and early 20s. But us old un's learnt how to use proper words to communicate properly, so we cannot understand what you have written on how "instructions" appear on our screens.
PLEASE learn how to use proper English -- you know -- "English" as used in England and understood by most other English-speaking places, not that bastardised "American English."
When my friend (a computer professional) installed my first computer, all I could recognise, as it was doing its installing, was the word "default."
"Is this a NEW thing, or second-hand?" I asked.
"Of course it is a new one," mt friend said. "Why do you ask?"
"The only word I recognise is 'default,' so how can can something with defaults be NEW?" I asked.
My friend had brought his 13 year old daughter with him. She laughed at my question; enough, I should think, that she wet her knickers.
They tried to explain what a "default" is.
I still don't really know!
