Grammar aside, it’s an odd choice to fill up half the page with 747s if you want to showcase the variety of commercial passenger airplanes.
I’m more annoyed at the lack of anything prop.
Not everything is a international long haul.
See, I thought it was mildly infuriating because the images aren’t “many types of airplanes”, they’re only a few types of airplanes repeated at different sizes or different angles.
“They are many words.”
[Page with the word “word” in 3D at 10 different angles and rotations.]
They* are many words
So embarrassing… Fixed.
Well, they are
Disregarding the bad grammar, the picture shows a terrible variety of airplanes. They’re all some sort of commercial passenger jet.
It’s like saying, “there’s so many kinds of motorcycles!” while showing only various Harleys. Let’s just ignore the dirt bikes, sport bikes, and everything in between.
What’s wrong? They are many different kinds of airplanes. Why are they airplanes and not people, though?
Using “they” when you haven’t yet established the group you are referring to in context feels weird and kinda wrong, especially if it’s about a group of inanimate objects. It really looks like the word should have been “there”, but they just mistyped and then didn’t catch the error in the editing process or didn’t bother to correct it.
That’s what I think is wrong here. I’m not 100% sure that this grammatically wrong, but it sure feels like it. Might depend on what the page before this one said.
It’s in a book for 5 years old to learn to read. It’s supposed to be simple words in simple sentences. This is not it.
Should be “There”
It genuinely took me a while to see what was wrong with it, my brain was autocorrecting it
Even after reading your comment, it took me three more tries to see it! Wild.
This ladies and gentlemen is an example of people using ai to make kid books. It’s a big thing right now and easy money but could have consequence if kids start reading these at a young age.
Don’t try to redirect stupidity from people to computers. We’re more than capable of doing stupid things without the help of our AI overlords.
Damn right I are
No. AI wouldn’t mess up like that. It could spew other kinds of shit, but with excellent syntax. It’s far more likely for humans to make mistakes like that.
The good thing is: This type of book is read by parents to their 1-3 year old kids. You show the pictures and can filter weird sentences. This is not a book a 9 year old is going to read 😉

thesethey at a young age.FTFY
They is for thorses
There are many kinds…
They are is incorrect, and the word “so” is superfluous.
Spoken like a true Grammarly AI tool for all those extra words.
They’re practically useless if you’re going for nice prose and emphasis…
There are many kinds of airplanes!
There are sooooooo~ many kinds of airplanes! 🛬🛫 🛩️✈️
They are so many good kind of AI written books nowdays
Probably went like: There are->There’re->They’re->They are
Their’re
*you’re
you’re mom
No, I’m dad.
TIL that aeroplane is commonwealth english.
No, “airplane” is simplified English, for simpletons
“Aeroplane” is fancypants English
Americans invented it, Americans get to name it
Brought to you by the people who spell jail as gaol
What’s wrong with it?
“They” instead of “their.”
Can’t tell if you’re trolling
Honest mistake, but I wanna double down because its funnier that way.
His trolling what?
Ha. And now I’m crying/laughing. Thank you all.

they are so many planes
I don’t get it.
“They [sic] are…”
My brain just filled it in, I had to read the comments to notice.
That’s literally just civilian airliners. Only one type of plane
Sure, but they’re different in kind. Double deckers, twin engine. I think getting kids to spot the differences is interesting.
Some of them are flying from right to left…
I think it’s also the poor grammar that’s infuriating

My brain autocorrected this for me, and I was confused why you were posting it at first.
This reminds me, there is a thing that the human mind can read horribly spelled words — as long as the general idea of it is the same (most of the time the end and beginning). I would try to find an example, but it’s late and my ability to form proper search queries os diminished.

Just invret two letters in a wrod that are not the first or the last. You will read just fine and prboably not even notice. Like this cmoment you just read
Prboably got me, didn’t notice at all until re-reading. The rest I read just fine but easily noticed.
