English Jargon - Intentionally Right Blank

[John Smart]

We spend a lot of time removing English jargon for airline safety.
A big airline in Japan wrote - "we see the Intentionally Left Bank page 
but there
is no Intentionally Right Blank page".  Bodvar Bjorgvinsson is correct, 
never assume
foreigners can understand jargon.

The English sign outside the Wal*Mart in Beijing today (April 2006) 
reads, "Flesh Juice", so
never assume we can read foreign English.

For Framers interested in an enlightened message about the benefits 
simplification
go to http://www.faa.gov/library/mediaLibrary  and play last movie 7/12/05.

Remember on your next flight you are sitting on a few million pages of 
ASD-STE100
Simplified Technical English, a lot prepared in structured XML FM.
