I am currently in flight school, and I have found a number of errors both in spellings, and also in formatting of various parts of the pages, I am in the process of checking the entire Basic Training course, but I wanted to go ahead and post the first one I've taken down, I just want to make sure this is the correct place to post and give an example of the sort of stuff I'm finding.
Typos discovered on the Defensive and Offensive page:
Barrel Roll:
1. not all of the information for initiating a barrel roll is contained within the rectangle with the dotted border for this purpose, the words "spiral around the axis of your flight path" are outside of it and when first read it appears that the last part of instruction was omitted.
2. There should be a : after the Offensive Barrel Rolls in the sentence "Offensive Barrel Rolls If you find yourself traveling too fast..."
I've found most of these are not due to a failure to use spellcheck, but because they are in the blind spots of that system. [This message has been edited by BARman (edited October 3, 2008 8:02:55 AM)] |

Thank you for the feedback BAR.
If you make a list of all the mistakes you have found along with their location, and then PM it to a member of the VENA staff, we'll get right on it.
We are always improving the training process, from the actually process to simple formatting and the like. However, in order to keep track of things, we prefer it if only the VENA staff edit VENA pages.
As for the formatting, if you tell us exactly what is wrong, we can fix that too.
That particular page is long due for an overhaul anyway, so please bear with us.

Here are a few more, sorry about the time not present, I work weekends, and I've been unable to contact my girlfriend since she went out dancing on Friday, and some guy is now answering her phone claiming it as his, so I am trying to find out if she is ok. But I can't do anything more right now, and I am so stressed.
Continuing Barrel Roll:
3. The same is true as mentioned in 2. for the Defensive Barrel Rolls uses description.
4. can is misspelled as ca in the sentence: "Defensively, the barrel roll ca be used to force a quickly..."
The Immelman:
1. Need to change the period at the end of the first sentence to either a comma or a semi-colon, the second sentence is actually a continuation of the first.
The Rollaway:
1. The image in not showing up any longer.
Low-Speed Yo-Yo:
1. Inside the rectangle bordered with dotted lines, on the first item on the list, "to" is misspelled "ti".
2. Also inside the rectangle, the second item has the "e" missing on the end of range. |

BARman, take AS MUCH time as needed. The VE isn't something that forces you to stay, it is meant to be a place of fun. I will keep you in the loop, you can take leave, just make sure that this place is still about fun to you . |

Thanks Blue-Leader, but frankly the only thing keeping me calm right now is VE, so I'm gonna stay here for now, I may take a leave of absence once I find out where she is if something happened, but until then I need the place to relax, do something fun, getting away from the RL |
