Andyman: Sometimes I really wonder...............................

I certainly didn't read any 'negative feedback' just a bit of friendly advice. Incidentally there is no 'implication' of bad spelling, but a clear statement that Josh's spelling and grammar could do with some improvement. That is amply demonstrated in his posts, why become so indignant about it?

It is a fact, regardless of how much some might choose to put their heads in the sand, that an ability to speak and write one's own language counts for a very great deal. The fact that you might be understood is not good enough; imprecise and non-standard use of the language means that you might equally be MISunderstood. Think about the implications of that; then consider why aviation is conducted using standard phrases and terminology. Maybe it is because just 'making oneself understood' is simply not enough.

Rant over..................for the time being!
