Look just beyond the Director’s right elbow.
It’s just “resting”… just don’t go over and pet it!

I bet that put a damper on someone’s career.
hay look what fell off the plain in front of us.
These guys aren’t paid nearly enough to have to deal with that sort of stuff.
At least it didn’t blow a crater in the deck.

Plain, or Plane…?
Fred Mills said:Just a plain old missile dropped from a plane sitting on the plain of the deck. If it has gone off it would have removed much more than you could with a plane.
Plain, or Plane......?

Fred Mills said:Fr. Fred. Take your pick cuz I don't give a rats butt how it is spelled. I have been over this with you that my being Dyslexic does create a few spelling problems. How ever I do seem to get my point across don't I?
Plain, or Plane......?
So if you would be so kind as to stop your nit picking I would be greatfull.
Now I’m off to have a bear or is it beer?
Repaired the photos. There should be two, now.
I don’t want to hurt people’s feelings, but dyslexia is getting the order of letters or digits mixed up.
You cannot mix up plane enough to get plain. I ignore all the spelling errors that people make 99% of the time, but this is not dyslexia. It’s substitution of a homonym.
I see “loose” (meaning not tight) instead of “lose” all the time.
So what… my boss does this, and he is worth $53 million… I’ll bet he crys over his spelling every night … NOT…

When I was in the Tonkin back in the 60’s, a Zuni rocket fell off of an F-4 when she slammed the USS Forrestal’s deck due to hard trapping.
The resulting fire killed many sailors.
We steamed along side her to assist.
Shit, I don’t think I’ve ever said "shoot’ in my life…
That’s why 59 is called “Forest Fire”, and 60 is “Sinkin Sara”.

Greg no hurt feelings. How ever if you knew anything about Dyslexia you would know that it is not just getting letters or digits mixed up. Its a case of the the two halfs of the brain fighting for controll. So yes it is very easy for a Dyslexic to mix up Plain and plane as well as mix up there, thier and they’er. For some even to, too and two can be very hard. Being Dyslexic I have taken a great deal of time to studie it and try and understand what it is and how it effects me and what I can do to work around this problem.
I thank you for ignoring spelling from me and others 99% of the time and I a sure you that 99% of the time I ignore those that don’t understand Dyslexia or those effected by it.
What is (in my mind anyway) funny is that I have a 180+ IQ. I have given up looking up words to check my spelling as it takes way to long to get a post up in this and other forums.

Those are better names than the one I served on was called.
Lessee…
The mighty K became the Gay Kay, the Queerbarge, etc. 
I wonder if they call the new Kearsarge that?
It’s full of Jarheads now.
Geoff, I apologize… I did some further research, and you are right, the homonym substitution is indeed a symptom. Never knew that and you have my sincere apology. Dyslexia is a pain in the butt for people, have worked for several that had it in the computer and engineering industry.
On “plane” and “plain”, a spell checker cannot check this, and I have never seen a grammar checker that is built into a browser. Seems like an opportunity for someone in the programming world.

My brother-in-law is dyslexic (Why did they choose that collection of letters for that syndrome?). He cannot read worth beans, despite trying very hard.
Yet, he can disassemble and re-assemble both standard and automatic automotive transmissions just by looking at the photos in the shop manual. That is how he puts beans on the table for his family.
Besides that, he is still my friend, even though his sister and I split.

Greg here is one for you. I do programming. funny thing with that is a program don’t care how you spell a word so long as you spell it the same way everytime.
Here is a bumper sticker I got from some friends “Dyslexics of the world untie” Just wish I could find another one for my truck.
