Ach! Several times in my translation memories I have come across a 'Shift'
without the 'f' - and so far no one has said anything about them .. Ehem..

And then there was a misplaced 'Screw' that a customer did notice in a
service bulletin...in a heading...How it got there, I'm not sure but boy was
my face red...

You just have let it go - even though you did it, don't take it personally -
I know it's hard....

Cass the less than perfect

I just found an error in one of the manuals I work on and I feel sick.
Fortunately, the error does not pose the user any danger but it looks bad.
What do you all do when this happens? I'm having a bad case of the "I'm not
perfect" blues.
