May take a while. But it annoys me to hell.
I presume it should actually be a 16x2 display (X-axis should be listed first?) confused
Nope. It's what 'Morningside' said...

Liquid Crystal Display Display.
..."LCD" is the abbreviation for "Liquid Crystal Display" so the full word "Display" after the "LCD" is entirely redundant. Superfluous, if you will.

See also ATM machine, etc, etc...
Same as Microsoft's Built on NT Technology.

I have been looking at pricing for the company annual portable appliance testing. Every email I get from the company that is going to do this for us is headed PAT Test. FFS you would think they would get it right!

Aaargh.

Not noticed this before.

However 'PA Testing' or 'PAT' really doesn't sound right.

It sounds great! What a great job, going around patting electrical items then putting stickers on them. Would look good on the CV smile

Comic Sans - worst typeface ever

'French baguette' - what, as opposed to an English one?

It's not comic sans though. I thought it was the comma at the beginning of a line. Also the three dashes between courses don't look lined up - could be the angle of the photo though.

That's it. The job should be called PAT Stickering.

I'm going to go with: "Mileage: 16,000Km"

Edit: To be honest if it said "Kilometerage" that'd probably look no better hehe
