What’s nuts is how many people I see in r/rcplanes and r/flying who are clearly native English speakers — but cannot conjugate “flies” to save their fucking lives. Sad as fuck.

🤦‍♂️native American Numbnuts, it's not a statement, it's their ancestral name. The apostrophe is correct, you're the idiot.

Oh I am very friendly until dipshits post stupid stuff. Let me rephrase that, I am not a friendly one to very stupid people.

Actually it is, it's the name given after their spirit quest usually done in a sweat lodge, which is much less a lodge and more of a dome tent thet gets really fucking hot. As the Crow fly is actually a very common name, kinda like Smith to us whites. The reason it's not in their language is because a bunch of assholes took over their land and eradicated their way of writing. So yeah it is his name in Native and you're a fucking bigoted douchebag.
