I have difficulty trying to understand how you concluded I know everything from my previous postings.

I am only nearly 21 with a PPL. Do you think I'd write this on here if I already knew the answer? That was a long post. If the bit about "no BS" got on your goat, then I'll defend it a little by saying, that all I seem to read from supposed people in the know is that aviation is Canada is crap. Everywhere is crap. Everything is crap. Everything has good things and bad things. I was hoping to discourage waste of time posts saying "Don't bother the aviation scene is crap here". Well, it seems not as I see postings for jobs everywhere, talk of movement from reliable sources, etc...

Regarding the grammar etc, I just wrote the post, if you must know the details, as quick as possible as we had to go shopping before the shop closed and I wanted to get the thing on here instead of having to have waited for the following day.

I teach English in France, and so in a way, yes, it is elementary English. I don't like having to defend my 'honour' all the time but it seems to be the way of most web bulletin boards.

Could I please simply have some informative suggestions from people who consider themselves to realistically know something.

Avcanada didn't cause this kind of "waste of time response" and I am not suprised it happened here.

I wish I had 2 lives, and my second would be getting into the brains of people who waste their time and others, and the reasons behind it.

Dan.
And secondly, I'd like to add that I've studied Grammar extensively, especially during my French studies, and the teaching of English for Berlitz has proved to increase such knowlegde. I worked for the largest language center in the world, and the application process was not very easy. I'm not comparing it to aviation, however, I was expected to know a lot. Infact, just to further unfortunately defend myself, I am used at great length to confirm grammatical theory in teachers lessons who have difficulty explaining a particular point. Don't ask me why they are there, but that's not the point. I am also requested the most from the students I teach more than others simply due to my knowledge and approach to the language.

The same applies when I teach Jazz Piano. My students never get less than distinctions if they do Jazz graded exams for the ABRSM, and I would quite happily provide the proof if you so requested.

Satisfied?
