J170 Owner Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi, sorry to be a pain but could folks make their titles to threads etc more descriptive? Things like 'Instructor required' or 'spare tyre' or 'snake on a plane' mean little. We (users) should be able to get a good idea of what the thread is about just by reading the title. As an example, "should I carry a spare tyre while flying" is better than 'spare tyre' as a title. Just my thoughts. PS : why does tyre show as a spelling mistake? It is the way I have spelled tyre since at least 1960. Tire means to become tired. Different thing, unless computers have been dumbed down as well.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpacro Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Agreed. This thread should have "tired spare tyre" in the title. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herm Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I would tread lightly on this subject! Not that I want to pull up on anyone, but I would not like anyone to slam on and end up with a skid mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howard Hughes Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 This clearly should have been titled 'rantings of a grumpy old bugger'... For me, if the title doesn't interest me, I don't read it! PS: If that is the worst thing you have to complain about in life, perhaps things aren't going so bad!

Different thing, unless computers have been dumbed down as well.... If your spell checker shows tyre as a mistake it is because it is set to English US not English UK or English Australia. US spell checkers are usually the default as most browsers are US owned or at least US based. I use Chrome which gives all 3 options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one 'old bloke' to another , who obviously has nothing better to do than waste time on this forum. I really think that ' spollen ' would be more appropriate .
