seeing as it was a general comment about ALL flying schools,
then he/she shouldn't of used a particular flying schools name.
if it was generally about all flying school he/she should of stated
that instead of misleading people

I know it's not the done thing to criticise misuse of language in forums, but ...
if "he/she should of stated" is correct English, so is "he/she of stated".
The verb is "to have", not "to of".
Apologies for any offence.

which if the Cranfield flying school has locked up your money, will cause you problems
"Cranfield" denotes the place.
"flying school" denotes the subject.
if she had meant to use the actual title of a business each word of its name would be capitalised.
the Cranfield Flying School is a name.
the Cranfield flying school is a general term for any school at Cranfield.
If a business calls itself a place name and then function its just has to accept that it may be confused with any other business in the same place which does the same function.

A general term for all flying schools in cranfield is not " the cranfield flying school"
It would be "the flying school(s) within cranfield"
That would be like saying
"The 24 hour London grocery always short change me"
Anyone who read that would not think in there brain that it's means all the groceries within London

The trouble with getting embroiled in matters of grammar and spelling is that one leaves oneself wide open!!
