Yep... we are de evolving. From the manual for a 60HP Variable speed drive (for an electrical motor) comes this prose:
The following words are used throughout the manual to describe an action:
Word Meaning
Can Possible, able to do something
Cannot Not possible, not able to do something
May Permitted, allowed
Must Unavoidable, you must do this
Shall Required and necessary
Should Recommended
Should Not Not recommended
Excuse me? I just hooked this thing up to 460 volt 3 phase power and managed to not kill myself or others. Now you need to explain the English language to me in your reference manual? Meh!
