I support an application that allows you to install a printer because the manual is written in Dutch and not just the Queen's English. ;)

Given the translation quality of pretty much every technical manual I've seen, I'm not sure that's an advantage.

Your wit is much appreciated, can I have some more? I like the snappiness of it, almost as if you're trying to troll me or something. Very cute! :) :*

And I think some of our terminology folks would have something to say to your comment! Considering we pay a *lot* of money for good translations!

dutch is easy to understand from time to time (it's a bland of German, English and some Scandinavian words here and there....) but then I am a German in blood, Norwegian in birth... English in education... stupid just because I am me_____-.-______

Excellent image of Fuso in dry dock during 1933. Just look at that pagoda superstructure!

You can browse some of the Kuro Maritime archives on that site which includes many excellent high res photographs such as that one. Really get a sense of the complexity of that superstructure and the size of it compared to the workers swarming around her.
