I'm a little surprised that it's legal to fly a plane like that.

Me too.

Of course, there are times when it pays to be serious.

I was looking at this page (http://www.enago.com/australia/editors/?loc=topnav_1) on the pie chart below the heading "Subject Area Expertise".

While the people who created the pie chart may have come up with a useful neologism for the act of an engineer making a mistake, it's perhaps not a good advertisement for a company advertising its services in document editing.
