Ha, when concordances were manual there was a short list of works that got them — Bibles, Homer, Shakespeare — and Star Trek! TIL.
@clew @cavyherd @CorvidCrone I learned about concordances from Strong's Bible Concordance...a huge, hardbound volume, bigger than any Bible I ever possessed.

All I want is a dry tech manual. A boring, well indexed manual that defines every function. Not a chatbot. Not a training. Not a million "articles" that I have to search through. Not a "community forum".
My rice cooker came with one. I want one for every piece of software I have to interact with.
Go get yourself a technical writer if necessary.
I. Want. An. Instructional. Manual.
@CorvidCrone if like to add a note to this if I may ?
I don't want to watch a fucking YouTube video either

@CorvidCrone yes. I want to look on a simply organised manual. And if it's translated from another language I want for them to have stumped up for a proof-reader who's actually familiar with English as it's used. Just to tidy up the sometimes sort of correct but strangulated usages.
