Noting the American word for an aeroplane being "airplane", some might try having some fun on Google.
If you look up something along the lines of "who invented the airplane?" you get all the usual "Wrights", "Whitehead" cap and bells pantomime with sometimes a derisive side reference to somebody like Santos Dumont.
However , if you ask, "who invented the aeroplane?"
something different transpires.......
(This triggered by Orville Wright's modestly titled ( probably partly ghost written) tome " How We Invented the Airplane" )
Once again , I do not disparage the Wrights themselves as engineers or flyers.
