Boeing delivers its first 787 Dreamliner after pausing for over a year
Boeing is starting to overcome one of its larger hurdles in recent memory. CNBC notes the aircraft maker has delivered its first 787 Dreamliner in over a year, supplying American Airlines with one out of the nine vehicles it expects to receive in 2022. Boeing paused manufacturing in May 2021 as the Federal Aviation Administration reviewed how the company inspected planes following a string of manufacturing problems. (www.engadget.com) 更多...No - I call them aircraft….
And you?
And you?
Are you one of those guys who just has to say “airplane” all the time?
Well we give things a name for a reason surely. Sure we could have said "Boeing delivers its first thing after pausing...." And "CNBC notes the thing maker....is delivering its first thing for..., supplying AA with one out of nine things....... But writing conventions (at least in my lifetime) have taught that being a specific as possible leads to better comprehension of the message. In this case the things we are talking about are called "aircraft" or more specifically for this article a "787Dreamliner aircraft". The use of "vehicle" is therefore totally and completely inappropriate and against all writing principles. The above was summarized by Frankly16 as "Vehicles/ Seriously?" His only transgression was summarizing beyond peoples ability to comprehend his message. Perhaps he should of said "this writer should not be employed by CNBC"?
The delivery flight is being operated as American Airlines flight 9824 (AAL9824) 10 August 2022
