Logging Shuttle time?

[iamtheari]

(the phrase "begs the question" is not an analog to the phrase, "which leads me to wonder"....)

This begs the question of whether anyone cares.

And yes, I have been waiting for weeks to find a chance to play that pun.

About logging shuttle time, are the launch pad and runway at Cape Kennedy far enough apart to log it as cross-country time?

Just because a lot of people incorrectly use a phrase does not, thus, make it a correct use.

OK; I concede your point. My excuse is that The New York Times has used the term the same way I did, and then responded to criticism with a mea culpa.

Your statement is so random it made my head literally explode.

Rest in peace!

I just say "raises the question" and sidestep the whole issue.

But when the incorrect use becomes accepted, it does in fact become correct. Hard to get your head around, and Aristotle would be ****ed!

I suppose that substituting "your" for "you're" will soon become "correct," if it hasn't already.

Yore behind the times.

You can log it as cross-country time, but you can’t apply it to instrument rating or commercial certificate qualifications.

All this grammar talk is mind bottling
