Just a last comment about working on the male-female instructor-student relationship... While doing my instructor rating, my instructor suggested I shouldn't refer to the fuel selector as a fuel cock to male students. I couldn't tell if this was because he thought this would make me uncomfortable or the student... I only got the ticket recently so done stuff all instructing yet, but so far I feel breaking the habit of all my training to pronounce
se-lec-tor is just a hassle, so I decided to stick with the short version until I see otherwise for myself.
Don't know, tell me boys, how would you take it?
...Besides, S messes up my nmemonics!
