Reached out as in "So and so has reached out to Emirates for comment on the latest reduction to its 777X order, but the airline has not yet been able to respond".

Aircrafts as opposed to aircraft!

Couldn't someone have told me at the start of the day?

Why, what's it to do with you?

Thankfully Mrs PN has stopped that.

My better half just says "That's nice for you dear" and then simply ignores me with the contempt I deserve!
