I must be a stupid old unfit white American good-for-nothing crazy bastard.

Now that I know the order of adjectives, I'm going to start correcting those maniac friends and relatives who send improper text and email messages. They'll thank me for it.

Except in English, we don't capitalize "Noun." I suspect a German was behind this.

Wait a minute ... don't we want to prevent something from not working?
I've read this several times, trying to avoid preventing myself from not getting unconfused.  Or something.

LOL, I had to read it a bunch of times too.  Still not 100% but ... I think the confusion was brought in by their effort to minimize the severity of the "issue."  They could have just said "an issue that could prevent headphone audio controls from working," but I assume that they wanted to stress that the issue is minor and they're not always not working, only temporarily:hmm:  Funny thing is once they added to the "temporarily" they could have dumped the "not" - it means basically the same thing with or without the "not."

So the fix is going to make sure (stop the issue from preventing) that the audio controls temporarily not work?  To be honest, this reads like it was written by a number of different attorneys, each adding a word or two until the meaning was completely incomprehensible.

It was not written by attorneys.

It was written by a few people, and sometimes when you've written something a few times, or proofread it a few times, you read what you think it says instead of what it actually says.

Y'all know this can happen.

My wife is an attorney. She had me read a page on a lease the other day so she could compare it to the original. OMG. I told her my high school English teachers would have given in an 'F' because it was a massive run on sentence.

Nothing extraordinary  but this sentence (in a ridiculously long paragraph filled with lawyer speak) in particular from a warranty agreement doc that I have to sign today between us and a customer (X'ed out the actual name) gave me a headache. Sure by the 3rd try you can figure it out but man, there's got to be an easier way to express the statement:

If, and to the extent that, these Terms conflict with any terms affixed to any confirmation, purchase or procurement document issued by Buyer, these terms and conditions shall prevail irrespective of whether Buyer accepts these conditions by a written acknowledgement, by implication, or acceptance and payment of goods ordered hereunder. '

For eg., what is the purpose of the phrase 'and to the extent that,' after 'If', in the opening? I read the sentence by removing the phrase and the meaning intended does not change at all. At least in my simpler perspective it does not.

If the attorney had written this in real understandable English, someone would have questioned whether he was worth the $400 or $500 or whatever hourly rate he was billing.  If they can't understand it, they figure he knows something that they don't.

    • Yup, sorry, not my rules, but rules are rules.
    • Ok, so going to get this posted, out in the world.  I haven't posted as much because of work life balance being s*** right now. I have this project in NJ (sorry @billchao, but NJ is a giant pain in the a** 😉) that is just sapped all my motivation for most anything else. My bowling league started up, so that is taking more focus.  I plan to start working out again, again NJ project, since I haven't worked out consistently in like 6 months. I also will start practicing golf again here soon. Time to get some indoor work done, and the golf course near me has a trackman you can rent out. So, I plan to hit some over the winter as well. 
    • Yep, I think the biggest issue is the carbon fiber.  Carbon fiber is not good for high impact due to it being brittle, and there can be catastrophic failures. If you consider something like bicycles, where the frame can be carbon fiber, but they usually have a beefy suspension system to take the shock. Carbon fiber is good in tension, not compression. It is bad in compression. It makes no sense to have a carbon fiber golf club that is subjected to both tension and compression on a golf strike, especially off-center hits.  Ping is using carbon fiber on top of the club at the back half of the crown to lower spin. It is probably in a place that wouldn't see much of the compression/tension from a mishit. Also, the bottom half of the club is metal. So, it is pretty rigid.  The Paradym Drivers have like 80% of their club as carbon fiber. The back weight distribution design is not connected, by metal, to the front part of the club. I can see if you mishit it, and that 20% metal starts to twist, it will create a section of the carbon fiber under compression, and it will crack.   Also, here is the tech description from Callaway on their newest driver... "The 360° Carbon Chassis has been refined to promote increased weight distribution. By adding an internal titanium support structure, the Carbon Chassis is now 15% lighter*. This mass is redistributed into the head to improve launch conditions and add forgiveness. Each Forged Carbon sole features a unique color and carbon pattern, making every piece one-of-a-kind." This sounds to me like they saw a large number of failures and added better material for more support, but they framed in a way to sell the club. 🤣
