Only one thing gets my goat - AND 99.9% of the time, I let it go, purely for my own sanity:
plane
it is not a Łucking plane, IT IS AN AEROPLANE!
I don't even mind airplane when flying in the States. I quite enjoy biplane, canard, pusher or any other specific descriptor but I hate "plane".
Had Aerbabe been a swamp donkey she would have had the lecture face to face last Friday
Plane's are used by carpenters (shame about Karen!
) pilots and passengers fly in aeroplanes!
Most of my buddies, the BBC news crews, young instructors utilise this bastardization of aeroplane.
I feel outnumbered, my wife tells me to lighten up but standards must be upheld and aeroplane is the true and correct appelation!
