Given that our recurrent exams, e-learning voice overs, etc., don't even have correct English
Which they are well aware of and choose to ignore.

I recall one recurrent session, when half a class fell short of the mark by one question. On discussion in the cafeteria, I realised they were all non-native English speakers and the question in question (heh) was so poorly written I'd been lucky to understand it myself as a native English speaker. Brought up the issue with the training lot, even re-wrote the question to correct English and was rebuffed without so much as "we'll look into it". Luckily all those crew passed the re-sit (likely because we ran through the 'how to spot EKglish questions" method)

Two years later the same question was still in the exam. Let's not start on the current one that is along the lines of 'Which answer is correct?" A. True B False
