Re: zaza? wtf is this

He is a nice guy and was asking for a service manual a while back so I sent him one, which brings me to an excellent post by charm5496 a while back,

reading a Canon manual is almost like reading a post from Zaza.

It's often the way he askes for something (I want this, I want that) that irritates people.

But I'm sure he doesn't have free access to manuals, firmware, updates, modifications etc. like I do. And that he doesn't get training for those new machines. So sometimes I feel a bit sorry for him.

That and also the fact that his english is not so good could be the reason - it is much easier to say "I want manual for bizhub 500" instead of "Would someone please provide me the propper documentation for the bizhub 500?". Most people would use the first one due to sheer laziness, but in Zaza's case could be otherwise.

Or maybe I just need another cofee...

PS: English is also a second language to me, so forgive me for any mistakes or for looking like I'm being a snob little bastard.

English may be a 2nd language to you, but as with a lot of people with english as a 2nd language your english is a lot better than those who have english as their main language

That's an interesting point. It changes what different nationalities regard is a polite request. I work with a few Polish people and while this is in no way an attack on them its an example of the point I am trying to make. One of these Polish colleagues is a warehouse administrator and quite often has to get me to rob parts for field engineers. He might say

Can you rob this part.

That's it no please or thank you, I once questioned why and the explanation was that typically the English use please and thank you too often. In his opinion 'can' is a polite way of saying 'will you' so adding please or thank you would be superfluous.

So if he posted here and needed a service manual his idea of a polite request may be,

Can I have a manual for....

Yep, when you type something you know how it sounds to you but someone a continant and a couple of languages away doesn't.

Add into that the use of a translator program you can set yourself up for a epic fail.

How true !
It's a crying shame that our schools don't spend much time on "English" anymore. Heck, some kids can barely read, and these are some of the MATH whiz kids in college.
Here in the US we have so many different dialects ( Southern ,Northern, Redneck, Hillbilly, Yuppie, Yankee, Eastern, Western, Boston, Californian, ... well you get the idea ) that English is just the ROOT language.
That's one reason my job is fun....I get to talk to people all over the US.

Well, I feel the same about my own language (Dutch). When you read the things people post on Facebook, write in emails etc. it really makes you cry.

Are you referring to crying from laughter? Or crying from realizing the people who can't talk the language correctly, much less make responsible choices are the future "leaders" of our respective countries?
