Jesus. Some people really have a problem, don't they?
Perhaps, flydrive, with a little thought it might occur to you - eventually - that poor English is more likely to bamboozle non-native speakers than the British who will probably understand no matter how badly mangled the language. They'll merely be offended or upset to some degree by the mangling of their language while those who struggle to understand good English simply won't understand the mangled variety at all. So don't we, as English speaking aircrew, owe a duty of care to our non-native English speaking pax to ensure we speak good, grammatical English so the poor pax stand a chance of understanding it? To do otherwise is simply unprofessional and may well have serious safety implications too.
Bit of a no brainer, really, isn't it?
