Linguistic Artifact: iPad case directions

RantWoman enthusiastically celebrates the following llinguistic artifact extracted from the packaging for a new iPad case purchased by the Friendly Neighborhood Center for Extreme Computing. RantWoman notes that the crack staff and customers of the Friendly neighborhood Center... went at this problem afte Major online Retailer suggested contacting the manufacturer of the case. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.

 

 

From the Packaging:

Use cleaning cloth to wipe off the new pad thoroughly

Put Smart Cover rotary axis into cover of Mate

install new pad into Mate starting from left side and marke sure  Smart Cover with new Pad completely.

Push new Pad into right side of Mate perfectly.

 

What actually worked:

Figure out how to separate the purple rubber casing from the plastic frame.

Insert new iPad into plastic frame.

Insert plastic frame and iPad back into purple rubber case.

 

The Friendly Neighborhood Center… believes in teamwork. This process needed 1 person to read the directions the first time. 3 different people to fiddle with the offending iPad case. One person to extract strongest magnifier from purse and reread the directions if only to note precise wording. The expertise of someone who has some other mobile device with a similar covering system.

 

After this stunning linguistic and materials science achievement, RantWoman decided to postpone opining on a certain mayoral press conference and to go consume fast food with RantMom. Talk about opportunity to reflect on people working in Seattle being able to afford to live here, immigration policy, and sundry other Big Issues. Well, not yet. The RantWomen were glad to eat modestly and glad alrady to have mailed our ballot!
