Drives me nuts, too. Likewise, a shimmy damper is the little horizontal shock absorber thing on the nosewheel to keep it from wobbling back and forth while a shimmy dampener is the puddle you just taxied through.

I heard someone say, "rear window de-frogger" once in a big group so I asked, "What is that, something to get frogs off your back window? Where would you even need such a thing?"

For all intensive purposes its the same thing. You should of not let it bother you, your just out to find escape goats for everything! Irregardless of what you think it is, other people will have they're own reasons for pronouncing it that way. I could care less, it's a mute point. You really should just do a complete 360 in your thinking, don't let it phase you.
Anyway this whole thing is just ironic, per say. I am waiting with baited breath for the next post.

Exactly, just correct them and move on. Worst case Ontario is they get offended, no big deal.

You're supposed to say FL 070 , 090 if you're flying in std. Alt. region.

Also depends where you have been flying.

My last part of the world, the flight levels started at FL070.
Where I started flying it was FL130.

So there is a good chance on some days when I'm distracted making a radio call that I will let a FL0XX slip.

My favorite (fortunatley in a sim).
Airplane experiences LEFT engine fail.
PF says "LEFT engine has failed"
Very excited PNF say "Right" as in correct
PF says "OK- Feather RIGHT ENGINE"
OOPS. :smt014
Proper phraseology is very important in stressful situations.
Also, a plane is a woodworking tool, we fly AIRPLANES unless you are proper British then it is an AEROPLANE. IMHO. :mrgreen:

How about "Radar Altimeter". Likely not as big as an annoyance in the industry as "Yaw Dampener". Even Wikipedia lumps them in with the correct term "Radio Altimeter".

True "radar" altimeters exist in civil aviation but usually only on survey aircraft. 99.9% of aircraft equipped with a device that displays AGL use "radio" altimeters. They technically aren't really interchangeable terms but the "mistake" has crept in to daily pilot chatter.

Some super-techs will try to tell you that radio altimeters are just continuous wave radar altimeters. I guess there's some validity to that argument but I use the manufacturer's literature as the definitive guide and they all say "radio".

I think the name of the unit depends on what the manufacturer called it. Dampner, Damper Radar, Radio. Common words, but who remembers what RADAR stands for? How 'bout RADIO?

"for all intents, and purposes"
"Yaw Damp is On"
" RadAlt's Alive"

Why TF do you have to make it so difficult. Kind of like a 5 min approach briefing, KISS principle, my eyes glaze over after the first 30 seconds
