Actually I am a native english speaker . However at the age of 3 we moved from Japan to Holland. I then learned Dutch while speaking English with my mother. As a consequence (and because my intyerest was never in) my grammar and writing are not 100%.
I do compensate this by being fluent in German and French, the last being very practical when flying there!
The Flemish on the other hand are the only people to speak native Dutch. You guys are so good at that, that we do not have a clew what the hell you are talking about... Fortunately .. The rest if your country is more sensible and speaks French.
Ps the difference between ofcourse and offcourse .. Would that also apply to an aircraft ? From an online dictionary:
Of course is an informal way of saying 'yes' or to give someone permission to do something.
For example:-
Student: Can I have some extra homework? Me: Of course you can.
Off course is used when a vehicle doesn't follow a planned, or intended, route.
For example:-
Tapes recovered from the airliner's cockpit voice recorder indicate that the crew were unaware that they were off course and violating Soviet airspace.
