"Nothing wrong with "aircraft". You'd be drummed out of the squadron callin 'em "aeroplanes"."
so...
Aeroplane is British street talk.
Aircraft is military and industry talk.
Airplane is just Yankee!
I'm now in a mental quandry.
An antipodean in a country that's disengaging with the 'English' language.
Should I go with the flow, or fight back?
I feel my aeroplanes are being decimated by airplanes.
Time to call in my aircraft?
