Subject: | overshoot vs go around |
>> "why the heck didn't I overshoot if I was going to land half way
down the runway?"
Probably useful to note that in American English, overshoot means to run
off the end of the runway. In Canadian English, apparently, overshoot
is the same as what American pilots call "going around"...
Not sure how "overshoot" came to mean go around, as the words
themselves, over and shoot, don't seem to be related to a balked landing
by construction. :-)

Interesting thing languages - the Canadian "overshoot" meaning "go around"
in American English probably originated with the Brits - "circuits and
bumps" in Britspeak, and maybe Canadian English as well, is "touch and go"
in American English. If I'm wrong someone out there is going to correct
me I'm sure. Winston Churchill once famously said: "The English and the
Americans are one people, separated by a common language." In a distantly
related matter of interest - my French-Canadian grandmother used to say the
purest form of the French language spoken on this planet is not spoken in
France but in the small towns and villages of eastern Quebec - I must add
however that memere left Quebec as a 15-year-old in 1893 - so take that
with a grain of salt.
