ratty,
Good point well made. Although I note your criticism seems to be more about my crap typing (happy to cough to that one) rather than the efficacy of the argument.
So, if all you can contribute to the argument is to take snipe and take pot shots at other peoples' typing, I suggest you would probably feel more at home at Shrivenham than the RAF Club. Or maybe even the House of Commons; they seem to be quite good at spending all day dealing in
ad hominem attacks without actually bringing anything positive to the table.
Incidentally
I guess it doesn't apply to current RAF Officers who quite frankly struggle with repeating words and getting involved in spelling some words
You guess what exactly doesn't apply? You don't make that clear - is that what you Shrivenham types would class as hanging participle?
