Could they possibly mean cut strips 3.5 inches width of fabric, then cut those strips 2,5 inches wide (selvedge to selvedge) so you have rectangles 3.5 x 2.5? I've never done one, and it was very confusing. You're probably right it was a translation done poorly.

<cackle> I'd be more amazed if you could understand those instructions!! I'd bet they were written in another language and then "translated" by somebody that also doesn't speak English as a first language.

Hahahaha I'm cracking up here. This tutorial is for "beginners"?? I'm still fairly new to quilting, but I wouldn't quite consider myself a beginner (just because I am familiar with terms and techniques and have a few quilts under my belt - still LOTS to learn though, of course) maybe I`m a novice quilter...
Anyway. If a TRUE beginner tried to do that, they would never, ever quilt again.
I agree that it reads like a poor translation.

It's probably been run through a translation program.
Those often literally translate every word of the original instructions yet don't make sense because usually when you go from one language to the next you can't translate every word and make sense.
