B. Abraham, sorry you still don't get it. Yes, the media spelt "plane" correctly but the use of the word "plane" is traditionally held, by many pilots, to be a misnomer.

The play on words using the word, "plain", and likening it to a burger really only works using the spoken word, rather than the written. I thought I'd give it a go anyway but you've defeated me...


As an aside, there are countless examples of the media consistently using incorrect terminology or application to suit their own agenda, despite widespread public knowledge of the proper version.


LT-DT, he's got himself an ICB on his jacket now...
