Same difference...huh?

This weekend I wanted to make a batch of brownies to take to a Homecoming covered dish dinner at church. I had a box of Fudge brownie mix, so I decided to use that instead of making the dessert from scratch. I read the directions, very straightforward: Mix together contents of bag, one egg, 1/4 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of water. This was for the original fudge brownies. At the bottom of the box, it gave the directions if you wanted a more cake-like brownie: Mix together contents of bag, one egg, 1/4 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of water. Huh? What am I missing here? I used the twice-printed directions, wondering if the brownies would be fudge-like or cake-like. In light of more important world issues, I can announce that the brownies were definitely fudge-like. Of course, adding some milk chocolate chips and copped pecans helped tremendously. I suspect sometimes our directions are written by people whose first language is not English. I'd hate to see what I'd come up with if I had to write something in Chinese or Spanish!
