You said: "Dirrick mistakenly wrote single-engine when he really meant single-pilot." I'm not so sure that he did. But whatever he meant, I don't see anyone "pouring scorn" on anyone else's standard of written English - or even mentioning anyone else's standard of written English, for that matter, except you.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification. Whatever Dirrick intended to ask, I'm sure he'll find the answers in the combination of those bits of LASORS which I've quoted and those which you've quoted.
