You are criticizing someone’s use of – supposedly – low level spelling and grammar when yourself using words like ‘Can’t’ – it is slang, and ‘hit’ – it should be ‘press(ed)’.
Also, proper English rules would prevent anyone from capitalizing a word – referring to the word ‘LEAST’ you used - in a particular sentence.
Aviation itself is the biggest culprit when it comes to incorrect use of English language. How many times have you heard pilots starting a sentence on the radio with ‘…and Center United XYZZ level at 340’ (This is just one example)?
How many times have you corrected (and lambasted) those pilots for using low level of English grammar?
On a lighter note, this is an Informal Internet forum where the use of such language and words is acceptable. So, let off some steam and have a cold glass of beer.
You also seem like a person – more like a 12-year old, who must have the last word. I will give you that in advance. You win!
