Quite so, Paul.
The retort is usually, "Well you know what I mean."
The L-1011 manual included instructions for landing 'overweight'. It was
copied from the Lockheed manual as a requirement of the licensing agency -
and was so written that it required the pilot to land overweight with at
least 45 degrees of bank because of the grammar employed.
Despite the obvious failure to communicate, it took over two years for the
amendment to correct the error. I guess a dozen or so 'specialists' who
can't spell "aircraft" had to mull the point before shoving in the OUT
basket.

Of course you know what I mean.
