Argos misleading Campers with Tent with no see UM mesh.

No see UM mesh.

What do you think it means? comments please.

Shown on many tents I wondered what it was, a mesh you can't see through on the door, or it is the outside fabric that can't be seen through, an end to the shadow puppet show perhaps?

Well, I am sorry to say it is neither.

Had they called it "no-see-um mesh" it would have been easier to work out.

"no-see-um" is not an English word, it is an American word for what we in the UK call sand mites.

Many people reading the text would, like me, be misled into thinking "No see, UM Mesh" was a material that can not be seen through and that it is a mesh made from something abbrevciated to UM, like PVC is Poly Vinyl Chloride.

The fact that many UK suppliers use this American term is concerting enough, that a major retailer has not only used the american worl, but "mis-capitalised" the letter it on EVERY tent they sell does not appear to be accidental. It appears to be an attempt to make it even more misleading, this is just too much Argos gets outed.
