"I'm a horrible speller BUT I know I'm not the only one. LOL!
Heck, just reading some of the write-ups in maintenance logbooks makes for a great laugh. Sometimes I wonder if pilots as a profession hold the record for the worst spellers out there?"
Hey now, we can't take credit for much of that! If you're reading the logbook entries that the mx folks put online, they take what we write and invent their own version of it. Perhaps they can't read our writing, but I've seen logbook entries that I wrote in large block letters, grossly misspelled, words run together, words left out. I used to think we were all crappy spellers, till I realized that we might not necessarily be the ones mangling the words!
