ATC CONTROLLER HIRING PUSH CREATES CLASS STRUGGLE

If I defined it as
vdsMessage.vdsStatus.vdsLocation.device_location.l atitude
But used it as
vdsMessage.vdsStatus.vdsLocatin.device_location.la titude
would you call that a spelling error or a typo?

I would call it the same thing that I would call "experiense" in a
resume or cover letter. It doesn't matter that the identifier you
mistyped is one you have defined yourself; it could easily be one
somebody else defined, in another part of the program, years ago, or
even in a function unrelated to the program (except that you are calling
it). Just like English.

Yanno, the whole thing comes down to what it is an employer is looking
for in a candidate. When I look for people, the most important thing I
want to know is "do you care". I can teach the job, I can show you the
resources, I can get you the tools. None of this matters if you don't care.

The question is general. It's a matter of temperment - of attitude.
It's not that I want to know if they care about having great camera work
in my film, or getting all their lines right. I want to know if they
=care=.

Misspellings make a resume or cover letter or script hard to read. Hard
for =me=, the recipient, the one who will make the hiring decision, to
read. If the applicant doesn't care enough to spend a moment to avoid
making =my= life harder =right= =now=, they probably don't care enough
to do a good job all around, later on. And even if they are good at
whatever it is I'm looking for, arrogance evidenced by an attitude of "I
don't have to be considerate because I'm a hot ****" will be a detriment
later on.

Spelling, by itself, doesn't indicate aptness for a particular job.
However, misspelling is certainly a red flag. aviation content I can
fly an aircraft that has some things wrong with it. It's perfectly safe
for example, to fly day VFR in an aircraft whose landing light burned
out. But I would be reluctant to fly =any= aircraft in =any= flight
conditions from an FBO that tends to have these things wrong with their
aircraft. /aviation content.

Care to name any programming language that cares about the spelling
of user defined identifiers?

COBOL, FORTRAN, C, BASIC, ALGOL, assembly language ... most of them.
The spelling has to be consistent, it has to be different from any
reserved words, it sometimes has to be unique within a certain number
of characters and/or free of case-insensitive duplication, and so on.
The spelling may also be restricted by data type (such as the implicit
typing of FORTRAN based on the first letter of an identifier).

None of this has anything to do with aviation, however, so perhaps
it's best to just drop it.



You don't have anything to do with aviation either, fjukkwit.

Actually, intelligent people will become fluent and will make very few

I see you've had little experience with foreign born technical
people.

If they are young enough, their English spelling and grammar may
become "fluent", but not likely withoug formal instruction and
very unlikely if their native language is very different from
English as in Chinese or Farsi.

Their conversational English will be OK, but their written English
will be full of strange grammatical constructions and word use.

He's had little experience, period. Except with his playstation, of
course.

You mean pretentious people don't you?

I teach them English, so I have years of experience with them.

They need not be young, and I know people who have become completely bilingual
in adulthood. It's mostly a matter of motivation, and practice.

Their conversational English will be OK, but their written English
will be full of strange grammatical constructions and word use.

Not if they are smart and motivated.

No, I mean what I write, and thus I meant intelligent people, which is what I
wrote.

Why do they need to be smart, motivated, taught and invest in a good bit of
practice?

Only yesterday you were insisting good English and spelling was a simple
matter of intelligence.
