Lost in translation

So I recently bought a new alarm clock online die to problems with the cell phone alarm (I have to leave the ringer on to have the alarm go off, but people text me at obscene hours and wake me up) and the instructions were incredibly poorly translated. This was not the greatest offence by a long shot however. The clock has AM and PM backwards on the alarm settings, thus, my alarm did not go off this morning, but instead, I woke up at almost noon. Just another example of things being problematic due to a lack of proofreading or quality control. Theres a general attitude of sloppiness that I see everywhere today, and it really grinds my gears.
