mr.mark, re >this equipment must be earthed< A verbatim translation from German would read like this, too.

this equipment must be earthed

A neighbour bought a new motorscooter just as these machines from Japan were becoming quite popular among people our age at the time. I remember the instruction manual's explanation of the light switch: "Light ON" and "Dark ON"

I think the Laughter thread had some posts of funny mis-translations too.

Cheers, PW.
