Consider this a PSA: the plural of aircraft is aircraft, NOT aircrafts. #avgeek #aviation #grammarpolice

Good grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit.

It’s a minor thing in the face of such a terrible incident, but every time an official or newscaster says “aircrafts” I wince.

I’m also not a fan of “tarmac”. You’ll never seen an airport diagram where anything is labeled “tarmac”.

YES! 👏 💯

Agreed. I don’t think they’ve used tarmac at airports in a very, very long time.

It’s how identify people outside of aviation.

Yup. Tell me you don’t know much about aviation without saying you don’t know much about aviation.

As is the plural of shrimp. 🍤
😀😀😀😀

And moose!

And 🦌

And sheep. But, llama?

This is one of many reasons I enjoy following you

Thanks! I’m not trying to be insensitive, but the number of officials who are saying “aircrafts” is making me a bit crazy.

😁🤣😆

Thank you for this, I was not aware.
