I was reading the fron page reviews and they were reviewing some boards, one of which was made by a new (at least to me) company called J&W Limited.

I checked out their site to see what they offered and OMG the mother of all engrish!

Here is from their FAQ

# The USB optical mouse keep lit on after power off the computer

JUSB1 jumper, while the #Pin 1-2 be shorted, this will support USB wake up function; While the #Pin 2-3 be shorted, it won?t support USB wake up function. And your following problem that the USB optical mouse keep lit on after power off the computer , explains as below: 1, The USB mouse are two models, one is light on when power on(A), another is light on when be worked(B). 2, If the JUSB1 #pin 1-2 be shorted on your board, and your USB mouse is A model, therefore the USB mouse still light on, also this is normal. 3,Since you would like to fix this, could you please check JUSB1 jumper ? or change them into #pin 2-3. If your state is this, kindly advise whether can you try another type USB mouse ?
 
I've seen so many examples of engrish in so many part manuals, it's ironic that they are parts sold in America, and they are from large part manufacturers, albeit Taiwanese, Korean, and assorted Asian languages.... and they can't afford good translators? 😀 These companies make a shitload of moneys... damn lazy and cheap with the manuals though, even though they tend to be thorough. Thankfully pictures speak a thousand words when it comes to parts, at least for me they do. Just need visuals to guide me with instructions in all honesty, unless its detailed processes.

I swear some companies just use google translate or something similar.
 
it's disgusting when major electronics manufacturers, motherboard makers come to mind, have the worst chinglish in the manual and BIOS screens that you wonder if you're dealing with Fisher-Price or a multimillion dollar corporation.

Isn't Fisher-Price a multimillion dollar corporation? 😛
 
Cannot beat this for wall-to-wall incomprehensibility. "Switches shoving NO" 🙂
