Here is a picture of a rocker switch designed by idiots.

Instead of putting the words ON and OFF on it, they put a LINE and a
CIRCLE. (Which means absolutly nothing).
Both words ON and OFF begin with an "O". If that circle is an "O", it's
worthless. Or maybe it's a number zero. "0".

And what the heck does the LINE mean? (To me, it means nothing. Is it a
lower case letter "L" or upper case letter "I", or number "1", or just
a
plain meaningless line.

Whoever began labelling switches this way, should be fired from their
job, and be sent to prison for the rest of their life, for creating a
dangerous product.

Why cant they just put the words "ON" and "OFF" on the switches? If the
full word wont fit, them put "N" and "F" (oN & oFf).


International symbols that anyone (except you) can understand no
matter their native language. Build a machine in the USA and write
"OFF" and the citizens of Albania, Chine, Russia, Lithuania, will have
no clue what it means. They all figured out the I and O a few decades
ago.

Just like the symbols for the mens room.

Like I'm supposed to convert this to computer code, when it's not a
computer. Do you really think those other countries, which are probably
computer illiterate will understand this? I doubt it.


The people with multimeters could run a continuity test. A cheap
automotive circuit tester with a battery will show off from on. The people
with neither will flip the switch off and on a couple times to see what
happens.

Some cut.
