Example:
"It is a small thing product in the car which supports the useful

Ohhh-kay....

Reminds me of the service manual for a Japanese two-way radio, the Icom
IC-F210. They actually spell "regulator" as "regurator"

My '91 Integra workshop manual is full of that sort of thing. The
distributor's leak cover, for instance, is called a "reak cover".

The manual for our '99 Tercel is even worse.

the camera in different modes, as it is good sexercise.
