for SUCH A LOOOOOONG TIME!!! HAHAHAHHA!
It is so funny that soooo many of so called "rivet counters" comment on one rivet missing... or the wrong shade of RLM color...
AND NEVER PAY ATTENTION TO THE ONGOING MURDER of the English language...

Indeed... hangers are for clothes and HANGARS are for aircraft... (and when asked how are you? one should say
"VERY WELL"... rather than "I'm good"... to which I always retort.. "OH, I am sure you are a good guy.. but how do you feel?"

Kudos to you... for having the courage the point this out!!! (I never did because I thought it would be taken the wrong way...
my hat is off to you...

2nd picture gives a new definition to the term "hangin' out."

ratty, Gaucho are 100% spot on re: the murder of the English language. My personal favorite is the utter, complete and total confusion regarding the use of "its - its' - it's." In fact, the entire fiasco re: the placement of the apostrophe in many words is another case in point. For example, "photo's" instead of "photos." Our hobby we all have in common has to do with "aircraft," not "aircrafts." Churchill said the English language was a noble instrument but it's rapidly acquiring a dulled edge when used by many folks - and you bet, the rivet counters are some of the best examples.

HangAr, is of course French for a Shed, in which old aircraft sheltered.......or were made. I wonder what the Wright Brothers called their shelter?

That TF-9F has to be on the Lex, I'd guess. The air data head is already in the water. Don't lower that elevator!

Yeah, I forgot to post that in the sarcastic font.

Well, it was established some years ago that the missing sock was actually the larval form of Man's Friend, the wire coat-hanger (note the 'e').
One of the beauties of the English language is that "slim chance" and "fat chance" mean exactly the same thing - so what chance does anyone outside the UK have, of speaking it 'correct' ?

Actually, I do understand the frustration associated with the butchery of the English language.

**IanHenry** · February 18th, 2016, 02:08

Spelling is another travesty take the word colour, most people spell it as color, which is wrong.

That's a side of the pond thing, harbour, neighbour, etc.

I have always been told '-our' variants were belonging to British English whereas '-or' ones were belonging to American English. Is this correct ?

Ian,

Where you are, yes. Here in New England, it is not.

Jamie,

I can do both....

Al-u-min-um.

Al-u-min-yum.

Centrifugal is another one we pronounce differently.

I cringe whenever I read someone's efforts to correct another person's "grammer"

Indeed it is. They took liberties with our language those colonials, lol.

Rami, indeed, but I did read that the US English is the correct pronunciation of Aluminum, but was probably written by an American.

Lest we forget bouy:
UK pronounced 'boy' and in the US pronounced Boo-ee (wtf!!).
Route, properly pronounced as root, liberties taken to pronounce rowt. A rout is an entirely different thing, lol. but so is a root I guess.

Best we not mention pants and fannies!!

Jamie,

The quote about "buoy" may be correct. But then you get to miss out on a good ol' double entendre joke.

If you're on a boat with a beautiful, er..."well-endowed" woman, and you decide to cop a feel, the joke, "no, I said hand me the Bou-ees" line doesn't really work.

If it was "hand me the boys," well, that would have a really different / pedophilia ring to it.
