Extremely versetaile.

To this effect, the first section of the course will present extremely versatile methods to create sketches, even if the user will not necessarily use them on a regular basis.

Yes ladies and gents, not only will you learn how to use the sketching tool, but we will show you “extremely versatile” methods of creating sketches even if you, yes you, will not want to use them on a regular basis.

Our manual is peppered with these little gems. Though the sentence in itself is not a glaringly misuse of sentence structure, the fact that it and others grace the pages of a manual and are considered to be proper, leaves me shaking my head. Granted the original manual was a rush job. Granted they only had a week in which they had to write a 40-hour course. Yes there was no one there to proof it. But, it has since gone through 5 revision, you’d figure that they’d at least catch some of the misspelling and grammatical errors, clean up the sentences and make sure that the file names listed in the examples a: exist and b: match the material and example to which they are associated. Gah! Well back to the prep I go.

Now y’all come back and take the course you hear.
