Pilotmike, as a Frauobergruppenfuhrer in the Spelling and Grammar Polizei, I do think you're being a tad harsh on the boy. It's not the worst post on here by a long chalk. Not many schools place that much importance on spelling and grammar now unfortunately so it may not be laziness on the part of the original poster but ignorance of what is correct.

Pilotboy 95, (is '95 the year in which you were born?) a piece of friendly (if you like, motherly) advice. This forum is read by some very experienced, qualified, senior and important aviation people. Please give them a good impression by writing correctly. This isn't a forum frequented by your own peers who are happy to accept text speak and poor spelling; it is frequented by old farts like me (and Mike) who apprecriate the time and care taken to use correct spelling and grammar. This effort shows that you have good manners (which I'm sure you do) and have respect for the person to whom you are addressing your posts.

With reference to your original post, pop down to your local flying school and ask to have a chat with an instructor.

Cheers
