On a VA flight today one FA with the garbage wagon was saying "Any rubbish?" while the other was saying "Trash?"

I had a similar discussion yesterday about the spelling for moulding v molding and had to Google it

"mold" is the US spelling, "mould" is the British English spelling. No other difference.
Same applies for other meanings of mould/mold, i.e the fungus that grows on rotting substances, for example.

"I had done some checks...."
"values is being updated...."
"I need to get a clarification...."
"It looks like the code is been like that...."

"In addition to it what should happen...."
"please note that when the offer is generate we do make the value"

A few paragraphs from the one person. I see it and I cry.
