“Practical is one of those words which implies “judgment”.”

I think you meant “practicable” implies judgement? Practical+able=practicable.

Spoken like a NACA bureaucrat circa 1957. The number one thing NASA does, as far as the people of the United States are concerned, is spend appropriated budgets of which 41 cents of every dollar is borrowed as it is enveloped in the Age of Austerity.

“Practicable” is also used in aviation jargon:..

Practical is one of those words which implies “judgment”.

Okay, exposure to military OR ATC handbooks. ;-)

Don’t have to go military for that. Just look for it in there:

I’m particularly fond of “certificated.” It appears to be a slightly real word, but always sounds otherwise.

In ’76 the ROTC was not popular in the SF bay area. In retrospect, it was probably the perfect time to serve the country and end up with a solid retirement plan…

And it worked real well in that capacity back in the day when I was a CH-46E helicopter crew chief in the Corps, lol.

I imagine it’s thicker now…zzzzzZZZZ!!

Always sounded wrong to me, but then came the word “stratergery” and I figured…whatever…
