"Remove from wash promptly and immediately"

[NewJeffCT]

Isn't that overkill?

Can you remove something immediately, but not be prompt?

Now, I know you can be prompt, but not immediate... but, why do you need to say both?

1. Stop buying that foreign crap - it loses something in translation. n/t

2. If it was imported

I'm sure it was imported for an American company. The importing company should be telling the people in Mexico, China, India, Vietnam or wherever what to put on the labels and then checking them.

3. I would make sure to remove it really really fast.

I cannot imagine why anything should be removed promptly OR immediately----as long as you don't leave it too long and grow mold. But if they insist, I would do it. It could be like the warning not to feed your gremlin after midnight.

4. I normally take things out of the washer

fairly quickly. (the dryer, on the other hand...)

[Curmudgeoness]

5. I am the opposite. Get them out of the dryer promptly and immediately

and they don't get all wrinkled and creased. If I am not there as soon as they are dry, I might as well have just picked them up off the floor and worn them.

6. Back in my merchant marine days

I was on a ship that was built in Germany and converted in Japan. The Japanese translated the placards from German to English, so we'd have a hell of a time trying to decipher the stuff.

One of my favorites was "move lever short-timely to bypass transition position."

7. You can do something immediately, but do so slowly

Like, I can say to you to leave your house immediately and arrive here promptly, because while you may leave immediately, you might take the long way or make stops or something.

Although in the context of laundry, it does seem odd, because really how slowly can one exmpty a washer?

It seems redundant, but technically it's not.

8. That's redundant....

We need to wipe out redundancy and get rid of it too.
