Spell checker can't help you to choose either loose or lose or choose know or no. Those skills were taught in elementary school.
 
<<<< Those skills were taught in elementary school. >>>>

I guess that some of the contributors to a few of the threads haven't left yet!! :laugh:

It does surprise me that some of the posters (in charge of multi $$$ aircraft?) have such poor standards of spelling (notwithstanding your local variations of English - color versus the correct spelling, namely colour! ;) ). There is even an "ABC" button for posts, for goodness sake...... we're not talking basic typos either!

It is often easier to write a post initially in Word, check the grammar & spelling, then copy/paste into the "reply" box. You don't lose your reply if you have browser issues either.

Of course, ewe have too no you're core-wrecked spelling options!! :D

Spell Checker Poem

I have a spell in chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks I kin not see
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee four two long
And eye can put the error rite
It’s rare lea ever wrong
Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather I am wrong or write
It shows me strait a weigh
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased too no
It’s letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew!!
 
My fault for getting off topic, just playing. Now, back to Flexjet, and I believe Rouge is correct. The new boss recently told one of our flight crews there would be no staffing changes till Spring, if any occur at all.
 
Mike, does your ability to spell make you a better pilot?

As it indicates a higher level of attention to detail, I would place more confidence in someone that spells correctly. Whatever job description applies. Especially if it's the first impression of a person.
 
<<<< Mike, does your ability to spell make you a better pilot?>>>>

Sorry for the delay, been in the classroom today, on a Long Range refresher course learning about this place called Amereekah! :D

Damn, beaten to it by Pervis - but he has summed it up pretty well. All I can add is that on anonymous forums, then someone who spells accurately & who takes a modicum of care over their grammar will get more of my attention compared with a lackadaisical (will the USA spelling check work that one out??) poster. After all, I guess that compared with European forums, this one will probably have 95+% of posters who have "English" as their main language - you wouldn't think so from some of the inaccuracies!

Lessons on the Queen's English at only $50/hr!! ;)
 
<<<< Take your autocratic Commie English back to England!

We don't take too kindly to that stuff round these parts. >>>>

Hmmm, 8/10 for effort & expressing yourself. :)

However, please pay attention to detail - only 7 mistakes - see teacher for extra homework! :p

[Yeah, OK, last of the corrective action - unless it reverts to 1st grade standards!]
 
I'll give you 4 of those. But commie, english, and england were left lowercase for a purpose. Kind of like when you type california.;)

Punctuation was my downfall in grade school.
 
Kind of off topic, But do Flex or Netjet require or "prefer" a college degree. Could not find any info on their webpages...
 
More on topic than everyone else on this thread...

I think its just preferred at both places buddy.
 
We have pilots at Flex who don't have degrees. Most of 'em r smarter 'n me (redneck inglish lessons fer 25 bucks 'n are!:D ). They got the job soon enough to upgrade and I didn't.

Who say's we want more of your attention.
