I only ever say “plane”.
Said in the right context it can’t be confused with the tool.

Aero is a chocolate bar in the UK. We have airports, aircraft, airlines and aeroplanes…makes so much sense.

I’ve always thought that “airplane” is American English, and “aeroplane” is British English.

Love the films Airplane, by the way :laughing:

I used to use the French word, aeroplane, but nowadays I tend to say just “plane” .
I don’t think I’ve ever used the word “airplane”, though I don’t know why because Brits use “Airport” and “aircraft”

I thought the choice was between errorplain and errplain. Must have got that wrong.
