Dire writing standards in GA magazines
Is there, in fact, just one bloke who writes all of the aircraft reviews in the GA rags? I picture him as a wearer of knobbly cardigans, and a smoker of pipes. His purple prose is illuminated by passages such as these, found in every review, of every aeroplane, in every magazine:-
"climbed like a homesick angel"
"I chopped the throttle and let the speed bleed off"
"push forward and the cows get bigger"
"floated over the numbers"
and, of course, the classic "trickle of power"
May I be permitted to say ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH?
