    Grammar aside, it’s an odd choice to fill up half the page with 747s if you want to showcase the variety of commercial passenger airplanes.

      I’m more annoyed at the lack of anything prop.

      Not everything is a international long haul.

    See, I thought it was mildly infuriating because the images aren’t “many types of airplanes”, they’re only a few types of airplanes repeated at different sizes or different angles.

    My brain autocorrected this for me, and I was confused why you were posting it at first.

    This reminds me, there is a thing that the human mind can read horribly spelled words — as long as the general idea of it is the same (most of the time the end and beginning). I would try to find an example, but it’s late and my ability to form proper search queries os diminished.

    Disregarding the bad grammar, the picture shows a terrible variety of airplanes. They’re all some sort of commercial passenger jet.

    It’s like saying, “there’s so many kinds of motorcycles!” while showing only various Harleys. Let’s just ignore the dirt bikes, sport bikes, and everything in between.

    Is the issue that all the plains are basically the same kind of wide and narrow-body passenger jets? Like there is hardly any variety in the images?

          holy crap. I must have read it 3-4 times, STILL found nothing wrong, so I went to the comments. It took this comment train for me to see it, meaning you had to tell me literally what it was.

    The issue is on both pages. Lack of knowledge of English on one, and lazy copy/pasta of similar airplanes on the other.

      “Aeroplane” is fancypants English

          It’s an archaic word that pretty much fell out of usage in the 1800s. People don’t say it. It’s a word in very much the same way forsooth or something is.

          That’s why I downvoted.

              They were not being sarcastic.

              This is a common misconception from Americans who presumably just read some 300 year old poem or book in their English literature lessons and assume everybody still writes like that.

                They were definitely being tongue in cheek. No need to get your skidmarked knickers in a twist over a flippant comment.

      No. AI wouldn’t mess up like that. It could spew other kinds of shit, but with excellent syntax. It’s far more likely for humans to make mistakes like that.

      The good thing is: This type of book is read by parents to their 1-3 year old kids. You show the pictures and can filter weird sentences. This is not a book a 9 year old is going to read 😉

    Funny that as a non-native I’m less likely to make such a mistake than natives. At some point I had to learn the basics or something. Not that I don’t make mistakes

        I’ve always been a native English speaker, but my first 11 years of education weren’t in the U.S. I also don’t have an issue with: their, there, and they’re.

        Affect and effect were tough for me, though. I still have to think about it for a moment

        And slightly off topic, I still can’t tell the difference between pansexual and bisexual. Each time I feel like I have a decent internal definition someone comes along to inform me that I’ve got it wrong

          Affect: action impacts you Effect: your action has an impact Bisexual: you like boys and girls Pansexual: you like boys, girls, boys that are girls, girls that are boys, people that identify as themselves…
