I absolutely want everyone writing manuals and documentation to punch themselves in the head if they define a feature by just reordering the words.

To quote the @unity@ documentation, for example:
It describes "Material.Renderqueue" as...

"The Render Queue of the Material".

Maya was the absolute worst for this. The manual basically did this for everything.

PUNCH. HEAD. OWN. NOW.

Amazingly, the documentation goes on to elaborate on the Render queue and say absolutely nothing. Ready for this?

By default materials use render queue of the shader it uses. You can override the render queue used using this variable. Note that if a shader on the material is changed, the render queue resets to that of the shader itself.

Thats... great. But... what is it? How do you use it?

Fortunately the next (and last) paragraph explaiuns all...

Or does it?

"Render queue value should be in [0..5000] range to work properly; or -1 to use the render queue from the shader."

*explains.

EVERYONE GOT THAT?

Fortunately, AMPLIFY help with their definition.

"Queue Index: Render queue offset value, accepts positive(later) and negative(sooner) integers."

I suspect that nobody ACTUALLY knows what it is, and like, someone added it as a joke once and everyone has been faking it.

RenderQueue.Background defines itself as

"Useful for rendering backgrounds"

Why? To What? Where? How should I use it? WHEN!!!! WHOOOOOOOO????

I think I need a cup of tea and bed.
