Title: Use Your Words
Post by: warren46 on October 16, 2016, 03:44:56 PM
I am tired of trying to figure what so many obscure Icons mean.  Why cant people who write instruction books, automatic machine, and other devices us their words.  A simple written instruction would make much easier to understand what is intended.

"Use Your Words" is what I tell my grandson everyday but he is only 16 months old.  He does try real hard though. ;)
