As a former technical writer, I know how easy it is to write something
you intended one way, only to have some reader take it in a completely
unforseen direction.



The AOPA should really hire a proof reader or editor. But since the
organization has a president who makes George W. Bush sound well- spoken
by comparison, I doubt it recognizes the grammatical problem.

Here's a very recent quote from the former network TV executive (speaking
on the AP article about older pilots' purportedly higher rate of
accidents):

"There has been no history that having that medical exam creates a safer
environment," said Boyer.

Sigh.... I think I know what the bonehead is trying to say, but who
knows....

John McCain dismissed the ex-TV exec as a liar several years ago. Maybe
McCain was wrong: he's not a liar, he is just unable to communicate in a
way that makes sense.
