It's no harm just pointing out the correct spelling of a subject so dear to all our hearts! No need to make a diplomatic incident, it was just a gentle correction. Now let's all try and sort out there, their, they're. Its, it's
Next lesson we will get onto whose, who's.

Friekorps,
How about structuring your sentences, using capitals where required and using the odd burst of punctuation?
Nothing wrong with correcting spelling or punctuation; it makes us a better nation.
Fernando, you left out the question mark.

Might as well be hangered for a sheep as for a lamb...
A bit of gentle grammar/spelling correction never does anybody any harm so long asit isn't aggressive, 'tis how we all learn after all; AvMan is correct, plenty of people do spell Hangar incorrectly including my mates who design 'em for a living...
As for Freikorps offering to see what can be done to assist Longbow with his quest - top bloke!
I thought Fernando's original comment was rhetorical. Ah me...
PPRuNe - educational, inspirational, confrontational, generous and, damn me, if it isn't addictive too!
TTFN, whoops, I mean Cheers!
PS, who's going to challenge me on my over-use of the elipsis...

My Engilsh will never be as good as someone who speaks it as their first language. So can I be excused...?
If you're not confident with the Queens English then do not comment(& then retract)...
This thread has had it's 15 seconds of fame.
Good luck LONGBOW1 and apologies for assisting with the derailment of your request.
I shall now stop triplicating.

Sabre,
....the only one doing any 'chopping' or looking for an argument here is you lad! Rainboe's life is just fine thank you, & no BS to anyone- just trying to get us all remembering our grammar in the gentlest way. Unfortunately some people find any attempt at corrections a cause to come out fighting!
unfortunately people like "muppet" and Rainboe are looking for a prey on pprune and will take the first oppurtunity to chop somebody off by the knees. Maybe they should get a life and stop the B.S.

I wasn't - note use of apostrophe - being serious.
Treadigraph: rhetorical - art of effective speaking or writing; artificial or exaggerated language.
I also understand that a rhetorical question expects no answer.
Here endeth a very strange lesson. The original post was about hangar visits. While working in the QA department of an MRO at MAN, I got permission to show my son and friends around the facility and aircraft therein ("therein" does not appear in the Collins Gem).
So, Longbow - give Monarch or MyTravel a call.

firstly a big thanks to freikorps who has kindly arranged for me to tour a couple of airbuses undergoing maintenence,really looking forward to that, also tempsford for your kind offer of help, what a contrast to the rather sad people who could only offer petty nit picking over my poor spelling, as one poster said perhaps you people really do need to get a life
,thanks again chaps

Dear Mr LONGBOW 1,
I'm sorry that you were offended by my correcting your spelling error. I do not profess to be the world's greatest authority either in English spelling or grammar. I simply thought that, as an obvious aviation enthusiast, it might interest you to spell a common aviation word correctly. Just the same as so many people get irritated at the common mispelling of Britannia Airways as "Brittania Airways".
Yours sincerely,
Avman

hi ,i wasnt offended in the least i was just rather disappointed(as were others clearly) that people feel the need to try and score cheap points over such trivia , if this was a english grammer forum i could understand it, as its a aviation forum i cannot really, anyway thats your problem, however my disappointment is mellowed somewhat by the kind actions of people like freikorps and tempsford who im sure are in the majority on this site, thanks again
