[IRCA] OT - Engrish review of my latest cassette ULR

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

OT Humor Alert!!!!  Delete if uninterested!  Thanks.

I have googled my latest pseudo-ULR, a Sony cassette walkman WM-FS493 to
no end but I have found the best one (not).  It is the funniest,
however.  What it *is* is a perfect example of Engrish, that is where
some foreign language never got translated correctly or accuaretly into
English.

Here it is http://electronif.com/cassette-players-and-recorders/:

With a water-resistant and tough sports serial plan, this corporal
stereoscopic picture is especially made as being out-of-door sport,

the glum. Control Pad is a single plan that allows concerning unitary
thumb verify of loudness and place presets. Adjustable Action Grip makes
it easier to bear the building block spell in litigate for the time of
jogging, walking, or other activities. Mega Bass go scheme in contrast
with "Groove Sound" place produces deeper, richer deep tones during the
term of more than gratifying boilers suit go, in the opinion of a
specific place on the side of modern-day euphony that substantially
doubles the deep rejoinder compared to veritable Mega Bass. Auto Reverse
Stereo Cassette Playback provides unbroken playback of the pair cassette

notwithstanding other activities. Compact Design offers high-pitched

They are right about the "no-good gaskets" as mine were "no-good"   In
the cassette door, the rubber band like gasket had came loose.  I could
not fit it back in, and since I was not going to play a tape in it (at
least not outdoors in a monsoon) I had to cut it.  Thus it's "no-good."
The controls are very funky on it, as it has like a joystick to control
it.  I think that this one was $120 new.
