There are no "E"'s in Caucasus

Just trying to get rid of this "to-often" written abomination

Too often, "too often" is written as "to-often" 

 

Self-reflection is a virtue

Don’t even try to correct spelling or grammar around here

English is a lovely language

  I've learnt so much English in these very same forums, for the good, and for the bad, either from natives not very careful speakers-writers as well as non natives speaking-writing very good (or very bad) English. People's mistakes also help to learn when you spot them according to the grammar you've studied, as well as many idioms and expressions I wasn't aware of and people use daily.  These forums are a gem for that, so, not only don't try to correct people, please, don't correct everything neither  .

I've learned several meanings of "two weeks". In German it only means 14 days

Actually the title: “There are no "E"'s in Caucasus“ would correctly be written without the apostrophe before the s 

‘s is possessive as in “Wag’s map”. The meaning there is plural as in “DCS maps”

At first sight of this the pedantry made me chuckle .

Being a lifelong sazzy bassa and an English pedant myself I have to point out the ‘Eagle Dynamic’s Map’ should have no apostrophe at all. Written as it is would mean ‘Eagle Dynamic is Map’ which just isn’t right .

Oh my bad. It would be Eagle Dynamics’ map since Dynamics is plural. Corrected to Wag’s map.

Even better. It’s = contraction of “it is”. 
its = the possessive of “it”

So it’s an aircraft that carries bombs under its wings

Indeed. It is

It’s funny that there are forum rules about writing in all caps because that’s odd and distracting. But not rules about excessively bad writing, grammar or spelling. That’s actually more distracting. Yes English isn’t everyone’s first language but that’s true for readers as well. Someone who doesn’t read the language well won’t understand your post. A simple “excuse my English” in the signature line might be appropriate. It’s especially laughable when people (from English speaking countries) can’t bother to spell or write the aircraft names correctly. Oh and the plural of aircraft in English is aircraft.
