The O&M manual for cabinets has this language

" In operations of the cabinetry are as follows, simply grab the specked out pulls and pull towards you to open the door with the hinge or drawer on its slide, to close reverse this action. "

In case any one doesn't know how to operate a cabinet door or drawer. :-):-)

I would be interested to see the poorly translated instructions for a push-to-open type door latch. I also wonder if by "specked out pulls" are spec(ifi)ed or speckled out pulls intended.

Funny typo of the day, found on someone else's spec section: "END OF SPECIFICTION"

I admit I've been tempted but I've never actually wrote it into a spec!

It is a "specifiction" until the owner accepts the completed building. Until then, its all make believe.
