Noticed something funny on Vanguard Web site

[w7sar]

I was looking at Vanguard to place an order . . . on the awards page with all the ribbons.  Under most of the ribbons, I read:  "Refer to CAP Manuel 39-1 for the proper wear and placement."

Now, what I need to know, where can I find Manuel so I can refer my question?

Manuel?

Curious...

Enter, "Civil Air Patrol cadets" into Google, exactally like that and look at the first link.  Then report...

[w7sar]

That Google search is also funny,  but no Manuel on that page either.

he's the guy that wrote the manual. Type-o, get over it.

I would believe typo, but it's repeated a significant number of times, and that's what makes it funny.    And sad.  Few companies would send out a printed catalog without proofreading, but the Web?  Spelling and grammar don't seem to matter.

OK, did that, both with and without the quote marks. What did I miss?

You missed the CAP NHQ Cadet programs page.  It was pretty amazing.  You really missed out...

which is more embarassing?

it's unprofessional in published stuff for the public, but come on, you knew what they meant & probably didn't miss a beat.

It really would have been embarrassing if they spelled 'Education' wrong. 

But your right, at first glance, you see the word and know what the intended meaning is, even if you don't immediately notice that it's spelled wrong. That's like the much forwarded e-mail describing how you can scramble the letters within a word throughout a paragraph and as long as the first and last letters of each word is correct, you can perceive what is being written.

Well, it looks like someone at national is on their toes...capital for them.

Yesterday it took you to this page...




"Civila Air Patrol," almost in an Italian Accent "doubletalk."  To the continue the Parole quasi italiani, check out your Mission Scanner SQTR work sheet, or should I say Missino...

*snicker*

It's the media's fault, truly it is...just because we're under the command of a General in the Guatamalan Air Force....

Maybe Manuel is a friend of Antonio?

[LtCol White]

I wonder is Manuel is the national commander of the Civila Air Patrol. I bet they have lots of cabilities and resources!!

[Major Carrales]

These are, most likely, typos of haste.  Not unlike those were post here from time to time.

Let's get them corrected.

[LtCol White]

I agree. But we can still have a little fun at the expense since it already happened.

True...

I was not trying to "scold" anyone  , just pointing out that at the end of this...we should work to correct these typos.

[LtCol White]

No bout adout it

[DNall]

There's another one I keep noticing in the SQTRs. Says have to demonstrate ability to coodinate with "ground brace" Guess that's for the broken leg when you tell pilots they can't fly.
