Haha, spelling police on Prune...would love to be sitting on your flightdeck, not. Get a life
I always laugh at these comments, especially when not directed at me.

EY Airbus, what his lack of grammar and spelling indicate is a lazy and not well educated mind. Slippery Pete was pointing that out not because he missed a letter here or there/their/they're.

I once watched two senior pilots arguing over the meaning of a paragraph in the CAR and it became obvious to me that one of them had no idea what the word "notwithstanding" meant, which was causing the confusion.

You can pour scorn on people who point this stuff out but in the context of QF dropping education requirements and the importance of literacy and comprehension given the large volume of reading we need to do I think it is important. Given the standard of writing I see in tech logs..."guage" "portable water" etc some people need help. So when I hear people at EBA time compare our profession to doctors and lawyers I laugh out loud.
