Hey HK Phooey,

If a long discussion about "fully" winds you up a bit - I'll tell you what winds me up a bit - the amount of guys on PPRUNE (yourself included) who do not know the difference between loose and lose.

Loose - not tight
Lose - to misplace, to not win

Call me a spelling nazi if you wish but I am truly dumbfounded by the amount of times so called intelligent aviators make this mistake.

So what did you mean when you say we are loosing the plot? did you mean we are making the plot less tight, or did you actually mean we are losing the plot.
