Sure, thats supposed to tell me it will shut that #)^(&^$ noise off? I've
been reading english for about 79 years now. That my friend is Swahili,
and I don't make a milligram of sense out of THAT. Sure, it looks like
english, even reads in common popular english words, but What the hell
does it mean? It doesn't say a thing about turning off the unwanted
noise.
