Your complicated plan could work, but not if the crew pays attention. You would need expensive specialized equipment to 'remote control' a ship and not affect the nearby ones.
And, I would not wonder if a high quality ship GPS is watching far more than 4 satellites, and probably even shows an error if some of them seem unusually strong.
It is nitpicking, and wrong. As the war ship was crossing a shipping lane it has no stand-on rights. So... while you basically explain everything correctly, a nitpicking examiner would let fail you for that question:)
but now imagine that you want to jam just the one GPS receiver -- so instead of moving the mountains (which is hard), you paint a picture of the mountains on a sheet, and fly it in just in front of the guy you're trying to spoof. Only he sees the spoofed mountains and no one else does.
And how exactly would you do that with radio waves when every ship in range would recieve the same fake picture?
I have no excuse. I simply don't know how to see spelling mistakes and how to avoid them.
Your gender example makes no sense. Most (all?) european languages have a gender. For a native speaker that is no problem.
For foreign language learners it often is, as genders often are swapped, e.g. cat in german is female, in italian, frensh, spanish it is male. Just vice versa for dogs.
If you can't see mistakes and inconsistencies in variable names, you can't code. Of course I can. I do it since 30 years, and 99% of my 'coding' I do in strong typed languages that use a compiler.
Sorry, your ranting about spelling and typing makes you look like an idiot.
As for the spelling of superior, spelling it with a "u" is obsolete, an archaism. It is not, it is brittish english. We learn brittish english in school. And on my world wide travels I meat more brits, aussies, new zealanders than americans. And like myself: they prefer the Queens english over yours.
My english applications to jobs where always ranked very high. Because one of the first lines in it are: 'Born: Germany', Languages: "German (first language), English (sevond language, fluently), Italian/Spanish/French (can read and comprehend), Japanese (somewhat)"
So no one â" except you â" is expecting perfect spelling or grammar from a foreigner.
However you were right with the I versus are/am example, so in future we will refer to us as We. Oh, We forgot to mention the plentyfold of other langauges we can read and understand a bit, like Chinese and Greek, now working on Thai.
FYI: In Japanese e.g. it is close to impossible to make spelling mistakes, except by accident, which would probably happen to Us quite often. Same in Thai.
We hope we would not bore him/her. Her name sounds female, but we got told many males maskerade as females on the internet. Btw. would she prefer the phrase 'in the internet' or is it rather 'on the internet'? In german it is 'in the internet', just to amuse her a bit.
And now We have to go back to coding and put some plentyful amount of spelling mistakes into the doc comments, for the amusement of my finish, danish, swedish and french colleagues (oh, that was a hard word).
There is no "right-of-way" on the water. Are we nitpicking again?
What is the difference between "right of way" and "stand-on vessel"?
For a layman there is none... and actually as I have a diploma in nautics, I really wonder at what you are aiming, because for me there is none, too.
Anyhow, if the warship in question was crossing a charted traffic scheme, it is by definition at fault. Correct. But on the other hand.... it is an american war ship... cough, cough.
The warship was hit on the port side, which is a strong indication it had the right of way. Actually it is a strong indicator that the warship had no right of way.
The trade vessels are in a "sea water street". That is either an imaginary "road" in the water or a "road" that is marked with buoys.
The traffic in the sea water street has priority and right of way. As the war ship was hit in the side, it obviously crossed said street. And hence had the duty to give way to any other vessel in the street.
But that is not the issue. Everyone involved in "traffic" might it be on real streets in a car or at sea in a ship has to take care that accidents are avoided. How both ships managed to not be able to avoid each other is indeed a good question.
I'm really wondering how retarded the/. crowd or americans in general are. GPS works like navigation by the stars. Instead of aiming with optical instruments at real stars, you 'aim' an artificial receiver towards satellites (artificial stars). So, if you spoof the GPS location by 'overwriting' the signals(light) from the 'artificial' star, all ships in that region have the same 'spoofing error'. It is close to impossible to spoof one ship to change course to the left, and another one to change course to the right, so that they collide, because they both have the same spoofed misplacement.
There is no magical 'GPS' that tells you where you are (or that can be 'hacked' and you can figure where someone else is), the little GPS receiver is calculating itself where it is! Imagine, you are walking through a plain. You have a mountain (one GPS satellite) in front of you. One mountain (GPS satellite) to the right, a bit in front of you. One mountain (GPS satellite) a bit behind you to the left. You easy can pinpoint your position in relation to those mountains. You are deciding where you are, not the mountains (GPS).
You want to travel to the mountain in front of you. Now someone spoofes the positions of those mountains, and you change course. So that you believe that you are still heading to the mountain in front if you.
Every ship around you, regardless what course, would make exactly the same course correction!! If you shift 5 degrees to the right, every other ship would do the exact same thing! (Regardless to where they are heading)
That can not lead to collisions!
And bottom line: navigation does not work that way anyway. You use the magnet compass for hours until you change course.
On a big ship no one is relying on GPS alone. Every ship has a magnetic compass. A helmsman should realize if the compass heading ans speed versus the GPS position makes any sense.
Then again: during daytime a big civilian (freight!) vessel is like a mountain. It is extremely hard to overlook it.
During night time, the whole deck of big ocean going vessles is illuminated by flood lights.
Unless in fog, IT IS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERSEE IT
And then we have radar.... so if the ship got "hacked" the only option are hacked bandanas on the eyes of the watch and a hacked radar system.
China is not devaluing their currency, the currency is bound to the US$ There is no real housing bubble, the empty cities are build by the government... sigh Regarding its economy depending on the global market, I really doubt that.
'invoiceAddress', 'invoiceName', or other artificial words are used in programming.
The speech recognition would interpret it as 'invoice address' and 'invoice name', hence the program would be 'broken'.
Other examples are abbreviations, like fis (FileInputStream) for a variable name or fos (FileOutputStream). However I would assume a speech recognition software would be able to understand eF Eye eS.
The parent was just bad in natural language transcription into internal (mind) symbols and constructed a completely different meaning from your words than you intended.
Coding you are jumping up and down filling different parts of the problem Erm, if you meant me with "you", then err, no!! I just write my code top down.
Speech is 4 or 5 times slower than typing. So unless you can tell an IDE "look at package 'my.product.model' and 'my.product.entities', create a Factory based on ctor signatures for all 'entities' that implement interfaces from 'models' and return 'model' classes" voice input is pretty pointless. And I doubt an 'AI' will be able to do that soon, while my template based code generator does that instantly. But I start it with a mouse click (which is slower than a key board short cut, obviously).
Yoghurt lasts for years... Eggs in theory too, but I heard in the US they get frozen before they get on the market to kill germs. No idea f that is true. Obviously if they get stored so long they dry out.
My favourite is always an "end of usage" date on salt. Facepalm.
I for my part are what I would call 'a superiour reader'. (which btw has no grammar error, I could place a comma though...)
I'll take the most obvious - you're the guy who is always screwing up brake|break, rain|rein|reign, ant they're|their|there, but because it passes spell check, you don't know you sound like an idiot. Actually, no.
So you're just lazy. Or incompetent. Or both. Let's look at the rest of the sentence to help decide which No, I'm neither. I simply don't see spelling mistakes. That is all. My brain makes the required corrections to parse other people and my spelling mistakes automatically.
And your brain always stops and some background process yells to your consciousness: 'what an idiot, can you beliefe that mistake?'
My brain does not stop, it just reads it as it is meant to be read, until I end at the sentence and realize: oooops, that did not made any sense. Then I have literally to parse the sentence again letter by letter.
My point is: some eyes/brains work like this and some like that. As long as you have not found a way how to teach spelling, and writing, in a way that actually helps people to spell correctly, you simply do't qualify to rant about that topic! Bold by intention, could not double-bold the word "teach" in the middle.
It is always easy to find other peoples mistakes. Sometimes it is even easy to impress other people by showing them you can do it better. But teaching other people to avoid those mistakes is hard.

You are tight, seems my memory is getting bad.
Then your examiners give you more leniency than mine gave me :)
Then all water jet engines are nonsense, too?
You are mixing up "jet" with "turbine".
This are impeller engines, hence they are jets.
It is nitpicking, and wrong. ... while you basically explain everything correctly, a nitpicking examiner would let fail you for that question :)

Haha, perhaps the 'tanker' is a warship, too?
I watch later, thanx for the link.

The latter would be a story, though.
Most programming languages have arbitrary start and end index for arrays. :)
That is KISS
But the rest of your post makes sense.
Ah, that are versus am is interesting.
'superiour', is correct british english. I live in Europe, we learn the queens tongue.
Secondly: I typed that on my iPad, which for some reason randomly drops spelling correction. (today/right now it works)
The rest I only glanced over, and I spare me an elaborated answer.
I know how and why I make spelling mistakes, and I know that there is no way to fix it for me.
You are regarding spelling mistakes simply not well informed or educated.
Sorry, being angry about other peoples spelling mistakes is the most retarded thing you can do.
China is not devaluing their currency, the currency is bound to the US$ ... sigh
There is no real housing bubble, the empty cities are build by the government
Regarding its economy depending on the global market, I really doubt that.
Now I pitty the guy who has to explain why array indicies start at zero and you count to size - 1;
You are obviously not a programmer.
'invoiceAddress', 'invoiceName', or other artificial words are used in programming.
The speech recognition would interpret it as 'invoice address' and 'invoice name', hence the program would be 'broken'.

Actually it would give an error: 'My' - file not found. 'Files' - file not found.
Yes, macOS/OS X has an "open" command. And "open 'My Files'" would have worked just fine, supposed you had a folder or file called 'My Files'.

Humans actually already have 3 sensors for that:
Eyes, Nose, Tongue.
Seems plenty of them forgot how to use them.
Sounds like yet another product that nobody needs and that will just serve to create more garbage.
Exactly.
You seem not to get it, so I repeat it:
