It's fast air although the call sign makes no sense for a Winnipeg based charter / medevac company that mainly flies to reserves in MB

So whose fault is that? The businessman sharpening his pencil, or the guys who take sub-standard wages?

I find it a little greating too. Maybe a stickied thread in the general section with a quick reference/primer on common word usage, grammar, punctuation errors would help a few people? I've seen them in other forums. Don't know if anybody ever refers to them though.

Got my first english course as a secondary langage in grade 6..

But yes, I guess it's always good to have the right spelling.

Did you mean "grating"? Making comments on spelling and grammar is always risky unless you're perfect yourself.

I even put it in italics, in case someone didn't initially recognize my little attempt at humor..
In any case though, I'm far from perfect myself when it comes to writing.

Correct spelling and grammar is somewhat of a lost skill (or 'art', or whatever).
With modern smartphones, tablets and computers complete with auto-correct features, the requirement to really know how to spell a word correctly is diminished.

It makes for some interesting aircraft journey log reading some days... let alone the resumes :roll:

Something, something, pilots doing it for less, something, something, complete.
*Phew*
Here I was worried that a Polar Bear had gotten sick.
