Mate, I’m not trying to argue that speaking English isn’t important for a professional pilot. My point was that there is a difference between being able to read/write/speak English sufficiently well to do your job vs. passing an Oxford University English exam. It just seems to me that too often on pprune, when people feel they can’t adequately argue their point, they resort to attacking someone else’s grammar/spelling. And very often (in my limited observation) that person is someone who doesn’t speak English as their first language. I’m going to stop this now; I never meant to start a big argument – just wanted to point out something that pished me off. Get into it boys...
