Question about the accidental discharge on that flight

[captain dad]

At worst a bullet hole in the skin will whistle and drive you crazy. The Outflows will hardly move to compensate even at high altitude. I had a partial door seal blow out and we had a pressure spike but it compensated. The noise was a pain in the arse. The surface area of that seal must be several feet, of course it didn't fully deflate, but still.

After reading the subject of this string, I thought it was another "sleeping passener" story . . . glad to see it was about guns, not sex. Whew!

Better not go over to the regionals forum with that spelling they might tell you to shut your month. Seems to be alot more mature over here, refreshing.

Seems like every now and then people need to be reminded that this is a message board, not a spelling bee.

Usually, the ones that resort to the fall-back position of "Spelling Police" have just had their azz handed to them, and they have nothing germaine to respond with.

Being a message bored, the entire point of it's existence is to communicate a message. Some peoples' speeling and grammar usage is so atrocious that the message is not effectively conveyed.

P.S. Notice how quickly the message of my post was derailed by the spelling errors? People tend to distrust a post when they see simple spelling errors. If the poster cannot spell, why would we assume they are intelligent enough to post accurate and factual information?

Don't be a squeezable bottle filled with vinegar and water

Dear "A Whack-off":

Did I spell that correctly?

Yes, a ham-handed or dyslexic Message Poster can certainly miss making their point by looking like an ill-informed, uneducated {vinegar and water solution in a squeezable bottle with a directional nozzle, used for feminine hygiene} bag; however, interrupting a string to point out someone's misspellings or grammatical errors is equally assinine.

BTW, most of the errors I see on this board are typos, homonyms, or phonetical spellings- it makes me wonder if this is a pilot trait (dyslexia?).

PS., I actually was a Spelling Bee winner, but that was 5th grade . . . I've since gotten over it. Hopefully, you will, too. . . .

Regards,

TW

Ty,

I wasn't directing my post at you (unless you really can't spell...I think we know you can with that victory in the 5th grade). I'm going to have to agree with the whole dyslexia diagnosis. I've seen a lot of it in pilots. It just makes me laugh inside when I see someone fresh out of college who is practically illiterate. What school did they go to?! Typos are one thing but phonetical spelling??? Hooked On Phonics sucks!

P.S. Yes, you got the username right

 

[Ty Webb]

You, Sir, are killing me . . . . :laugh:

I couldn't agree more . . . or, wait- is it I could agree more? Could care less . . . or couldn't care less?

I'm so Confucius!

In between all the flatulent discourse about semantics, spelling, and grammatical segways.....
did the guy have a Glock .40 or an H&K and why did the thing go off?

 

[phr8dawg]

Just saw the scary vid, never mind.

 

[Rally]

It was a H&K .40........He probably had his finger on the trigger taking it out of the holster or caught it on something when he pulled out.

It's a big gun and makes a big bang. I'm thinking that the hole could have been making all the noise in the world and they wouldn't have heard it for the loud ringing and blood coming out of their ears.

I used to be dyslexic but I'm KO now. 5 out of 4 Pilots have it a know!

So, I guess it's okay to spell "a lot" as "alot?"
