EIC "...recommend that this installation is further inspected and tested..."

psychicwarrior
Given that [at least for me] 'this installation' is referring to the work detailed in the extent of the EIC and not the installation as a whole, the wording should be improved by including reference to the extent ?


That is unless the above understanding is incorrect ? In which case oops !


Minor issue I know in the grand scheme, but just thinking it might be clearer to the recipient (assuming they do read it).

     "nil desperandum carborundum"




    ebee, I just realised what is wrong with your latin - you are conflating two phrases. Nil Desperandum is an old latin phrase meaning (roughly) don't despair, and I think the latin phrase you were thinking of is Nil illegitimus carborundum (also appearing in Wilbur Smith's book Cry Wolf as "Noli illegitimus carborundum").

    Another phrase I like is from Terry Pratchett's discworld books where the guild of plumbers has a motto something like Non proxima septem diem, squiri.
