If you've ever
read a technical manual, you've probably come across a page or two saying
only: “This page intentionally left blank”. Wrong. The page
wasn't left blank because you just read something off of it. This
is technically incorrect.
I propose two solutions:
-
Write this on the
page instead: “This sentence (and no other sentences) intentionally
written on this page.”
-
Actually leave the
page blank, and on the following page write “The previous page was intentionally
left blank.”
Which makes you wonder...
Was all the other information in the manual intentionally put there?
All you really know is what was intentionally not put there.
Maybe the statement
“The information on this page was not accidentally put here” should be
included in the header section of every page in the manual that does not
say “This page intentionally left blank”?
