A few weeks ago, I shared several passages from a book about digital multimeters written by Edmond Chucks. The most striking feature of the book was the unconventional use of our beloved English language. Obviously, English was a second (maybe third or fourth) language for the author.
I
am back with more. Mr. Chucks apparently
has several other books available—each written under a pseudonym. I recently picked up one of these books: Digital
Multimeter for Dummies, written under the name Eric Markson.
The
writing is definitely the work of Edmond Chucks. Following is a passage written about using a
multimeter’s continuity test function:
“On
the off chance that the sound isn’t persistent or on the off chance that you
don’t hear any solid whatsoever, It implies that what you’re trying has a
broken association or isn’t associated in any way.
Cautioning: To test progression you should kill the
framework! Mood killer the force
gracefully!”
I
have decent grasp on electrical stuff, but I have no idea where the second
paragraph took me.
I
have posted a photograph of the passage in the book just to prove I am not
making this up.

"To test progression you should kill the framework!" just might need to become my new mantra.
