Stigmatism... All the Gulfstreams do have nice lines. To many people they are just what a jet airplane should look like.

I like how you included the definition for astigmatism, which is a DIFFERENT word!

By the way.....

Stigma: a long-lasting mark or stain on one's character or reputation, esp. of disgrace or reproach.

Stigmatism...

stigmatism 1. The condition of being affected by stigmata. 2. The state of a refracting or reflecting system in which light rays from a single point are accurately focused at another point. 3. Normal eyesight.

Thanks for clearing that up. HA HA HA!! Get it? CLEARing that up?

Because it's obvious --at least to most of us-- that someone has confused the word "stigma" with the word "astigmatism" or "stigmatism."

Regardless, he included it in his original post. To wit:

Is there a stigmatism towards Gulfstream

It's a joke. Lighten up, Francis.

As a Wolfpack/Amato/Rivers fan I'll tell you Gulfstream is PFT.
I'm not 121 so I can't say if there is a "stigma" attached to G-stream.
I would go with plan B. I would not want G-stream on my resume.
Good luck.
