Airline Saftey Messages Important !

[PhantomTweak]

...And just out of idle curiosity, when did the word "issue" become a synonym, of substitute even, for "problem"???

My own personal pet peeve, although when we had the British working with us on the Aerostat, there was quite a bit of confusion with things like "biscuit", "cookie", "flat", and such...it was great good fun listening to guys from South London, North Carolina, The Bronx and wherever it is the really thick Cockney accent comes from, all trying to understand one another on the intercom system during the early launch and recovery operations. 99% of it all was "Huh?", "Wha' y'all say?", "Wot?", and so on...and on, and on, and...
All speaking "English" of course, mutually cryptic sounds though. I had to spend a fair amount of my pitifully small brain-power translating to what I could understand!
Then of course was our cable builder and termination man, Gerald...from Jamaica! Who had decided that, literally, every other word had to be "The F-Bomb" as the saying goes. VERY interesting to listen to....for a very little time...

Great night and may y'all dig wot each has t'say!
I think I just got brain-cramps...

Gotta "take a leak", I always leave one, not take it away with me.

Listen to UK & US pronunciation here --> http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/sinkHmmm. Sounds like I've lost this one. "English" is more with an "S" I'd say, whilst my pronunciation is more of a "Z" like the American pronunciation.
Either way, I won't be changing my ways though..that would be akin to admitting I'm wrong. Ain't gonna happen.

Sorry, but the basic (bayss'-ick, like basin is pronounced bayss'-inn) U.S. pronunciation of sink is like sync, not zinc... the latter being a metallic element.

Thread Title:
English: Safety.
American: Saftey.

No, Foz, for much of the U.S. it's still Safety; to better relate it's, "Kansas: Saftey." Since Kansas was where our balistic missile silos were placed -- there's been no safety there...

By the way, at least one Leeds in the U.K. -- but not one Follows near?

Will we ever see the end of the awful ritual.....>>>
"Gimme five!"

Actually, Foz, I much prefer that to the one where they retract the thumb and three of the fingers, with or without the accompanying utterance.

While we're on the subject, one of my pet hates is the expression "If you will", whatever that's supposed to mean.

To whatever is asked, that they evidently don't think we're accomodating, whether by ability or will...

Unfortunately, as age progresses and a diabetic condition persists, I seem to be taking a leak with me, however unwilingly...
