Wanting to know what you wrote, I tried to feed that to several translation pages.

Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

As regular readers will know, I always have cars that are about ten years old. Last newish car I bought was 13 years ago, and even that was about 4 years old then.
I have just picked up the hire car the insurance have sorted out for me, it is a year old Seat Leon and it is the most complicated thing I have ever been near.
The hieroglyphics on the stalk controls are bewildering, there are buttons all over the steering wheel. Lights twinkle everywhere indicating god knows what, and there are buttons alongside the hand break I couldn't begin to guess at the function of. As for the full colour touchscreen DAB radio / satnav / phone controls / god alone knows what else.
It took me about 5 minutes to turn the rear windscreen wiper off and I'm not sure I know how to get it back on again should I need it.
My name is Chris Elston and I am functionally stupid.

Your tale reminds me of Bjorne Stroustrop's comment:I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone.

"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

I had a similar problem with the hire Ford Fester I had this summer.
I had to stop and read the manual to find out how to activate the rear window wiper...and don;t get me started on the two useless (but annoying) buttons on the cruise control.
It's not you: it's the manufacturers valuing style over function.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Meh, I once spent 15 minutes looking for the control and reading through the manual to see how to turn on the rear wiper of my Senator.
It was only then I discovered the awful truth.
It didn't have a read wiper.
