Take the time and choose your words carefully.

Get a grip.

Aviation is filled with examples of language that doesn't strictly match the
regulations, but which is perfectly understandable by the people who talk of
such matters.

If you want to go stand in line with the people splitting hairs over
"biannual" versus "biennial", or "ICC" versus "IPC", or even "license"
versus "certificate", be my guest. But it's a waste of time, and frankly it
makes you look even more anal retentive than the usual
computer-geek-on-Usenet.

Me? I'd much rather say "Class C airport" than "towered airport around
which Class C airspace is centered". I've yet to run into anyone who would
get confused by the former.
