In response to Good reminders, John posted by jerrib:

When I see such abherrent use of verbs, it's akin to fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

Unfortunately, sometimes you inherit such documents and the cost of translations prohibits such "clean-up" if the changes to a manual are minor. But certainly for a new manual you have a fresh slate and can begin with writing it right.
