dont be put off Will, flying for funs attitude isnt universal.
you dont need to know were to look things up, you just need to know that in every flying school there will be a ********, a self appointed expert whose only pleasure in life is to put others down to boost his own ego.
ps Will if its any consellation, i have an atpl, 16,000 hours and an instructor rating that expired 14 years ago and i do not even know what LASORS means but thankfully the definition of ******** remains unchanged!
whatunion says, never be rude to your student, he may be your fleet manager one day!
