*"Set' and 'Sets' appear to be used interchangeably as first words in a
number of paragraph/statements ..... as in 'Set the density of the
filter ......'. I read these instances of usage as instructions and not
as command statements."*
As a native speaker this is how I see it.. Look to page 16 for the location
of the content. The original "0-5 set the rating of the image" Example
1> 0-5 set the rating*s *of *an* image 2> 0-5 sets the rating of an
image. The original is a command not a description. Example 1 is close
but isn't correct because ratings being plural implies you can assign more
than a set number of stars. However using the word "an" before "image" is
correct. To me the correct option is example 2. Think of the entire line
like a scentence, *zero through five sets the rating of an image,* "sets"
becomes a verb/action.
I have another area of verbal conflict on the same page and table, and seen
throughout the document.. the use of "hit" instead of enter or press
(contextually dependent). Using colloquial English "hit" would be
acceptable. But if the English manual was used by a non-native speaker who
didn't have access to their language or was making comparisons, it wouldn't
translate well. I also doubt it would make sense outside of the U.S., say
Australia, England.
