Default "Flying too High" by Steven Pomper

Holy cow. A friend of mine (a like minded person who wants GA to be
professionalized and regulated -- no its not regulated now) just referred
me to this excellent piece of journalism. A bit dated, to be sure, but
still relevant. (Ironic that this was being written at the same time GA
schools were training the Saudi terrorists who flew into the WTC.)

And perhaps your's belongs in the English Challenged thread! "You're"
is the correct contraction for "you are".

What is this, a meeting of the Two Stooges of grammar? Curly, meet Moe.
Moe, meet Curly. There are no apostrophes in possessive personal pronouns.
It should be "yours" not "your's."

Then again, there's no apostrophe in "yours"! g

USENET rule: Any post correcting spelling or grammer must contain at

I'm safe.
