Drives me nuts
« on: January 06, 2022, 09:18:36 AM »
Sorry if this seems like a rant. Since I will usually click on an aviation story what drives me crazy is when writers use the word aircrafts. The proper spelling for the plural of aircraft is aircraft. That is my complaint. :banghead:

Makes sense. Otherwise an aircraft carrier would be for 1 plane only!

When someone made a moot point I for years thought it was a mute point. Finally was corrected last year.

Well we do drive on a parkway and park on a driveway. I don't know why some people think the English language is difficult. :93:

The one I heard this week was "rpm per minute".  It was on a youtube video about the Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion and it was said by a Marine helicopter mechanic  :25:
