The problem with Aviation English is that not all pilots speak it clearly. I’ve heard enough recordings to know this. I see how it could be problematic …
Yeah, it may be aviation english, but there’s no guarantee you will be able to pick out a word of it. That said, airplane communications pretty well garble even the best of native-speaker diction.
A limited required vocabulary certainly can held; BTW, on a related note, Chinese writing (Traditional, simplified, etc.) probably has limited options, too, which can help in embodying it to text format on the Internet.
People, even in our own country, go to bed hungry and they’re wrestling in mashed potatoes. Many soup kitchens would have been glad to have had those potatoes.
I have my doubts about Aviation English having only three hundred words, although I can easily believe it includes a list of three hundred words the speaker must know. One word list for Basic English, for example, has 850 base words. Three hundred seems far too small a vocabulary for something as technical as aviation.

Is that wrestling in the nude?

My niece is a pilot. I’ll have to ask her if she had to learn aviation English.
Take care and may God bless.

Wait —What were they doing with the stuffed animals before it became scientific?? Do I want to know??
I’m guessing the potatoes usually lost. But imagine the humiliation of losing a wrestling match to mashed potatoes!

Is there any one there stupid enough to try to eat the mashed potatoes at the end?

How do I get mashed potatoes to wrestle? And how do you tell them apart, skins and no skins?

I had to look at the rightmost ape for a while before realizing that there was a baby clinging to her. I thought, “Those are some bizarre breasts.”

Clark, South Dakota also has a Potato Days Festival in July each year with mashed potato wrestling. Strange things are happening in the midwest!
