I was given a remote controlled car for my birthday this year. It was made in China and, I can only gather, was hastily prepared for sale in English speaking markets. For starters, the product is called "Innervation Racing" and is adorned with decals such as "Speeding!" and "Good Sale" (which I'm guessing was supposed to be "goodbye" but stopped off at "good buy" before arriving at "good sale"). One need only read the instructions to be fully convinced. To wit:

1. If another car using the same radio frequency operated same time nearby ,the control of car would be malnutrition .
So...get two cars together and go hungry?

2. Please change the place or other period of time to play .Sometime , if affected by other radio frequency transmition the control may be also out of order .
OK, this one is a gem for punctuation alone. But it also seems to suggest that whatever time and place you had in mind for using this toy will have to change.

Apparently "transmition" will mess you up too. So please, children, say no to transmition and stay in school.

3. This car suitable to play on the roughage sand road ,if playing on the every smooth polished ground ,because the fiction between wheel and ground is too small , may cause problem of moving in non-straight path ,car rotate 180º or continually rotating on the ground.
Cursed fiction. If only the fiction between wheel and ground were larger, but no. They have to be honest and ruin our fun. Not only that, where am I going to find a road that's built of sand and non-digestible fibrous vegetable matter? At least the malnutritioning car will be continually rotating on the ground and not in the air where someone could really get hurt.

I do give them credit for omitting the space before the period .

4. Better play on the larger playground ,not suitable playing indoor on a single-family house .
Surely you'll appreciate the relief I felt upon first reading number four. You see, I own a condo that is attached to two other dwellings and am therefore cleared to use the car indoors. I am a bit miffed that I can't play on the smaller playground. The larger being considerably less convenient.

I have another set of instructions from this product I'll post next.
