It makes sense to try and accumulate "mileage" on one disproportionately more than on the others. That way, you could get learnings of long term issues (ideally) before the rest of the fleet is at risk to make necessary improvements.

There's a list of dead comments here helping you with your english. FYI (if you can't see them), your odd and incorrect use of "learnings" is being corrected to "lessons".

  Learnings is a plural noun. Lessons is a plural noun. I'm no linguist, but... *shrug*

  Learnings is fine. It’s a fairly typical business-speak word, I hear it a bunch.

  Yeah, what’s going on with those comments? One might argue whether “learnings” is incorrect or just stylistically bad; some dictionaries seem to list it. But why would anyone care enough to create half a dozen sock puppets to make this one point (none of them seem to have any other comments)? That seems completely insane to me.

    A non-native speaker friend of mine long ago would say he needed to "make some shoppings." I still tend to say that when I go shopping.

    "Learning" is also a noun [1] - which can be plural, so I'd say the creator of those comments has some learnings to make. More generally, though, being a grammar nazi is silly. Dictionaries are defined by the common use of language and language is quite flexible, evolving, unique to individuals, and even used to be much more geographically continuous than it is today.[2] 1 - https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/english/learning https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/eng... 2 - Here's my favorite talk on the subject given by Chomsky, highly recommend a listen (especially to the poster of those dead comments): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdUbIlwHRkY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdUbIlwHRkY

  What’s with the flood of new accounts / word corrections on the parent comment??

    It's the same tired salty edgelord raised on prescriptive english nursing a deep seated hatred of the other. The freshly extruded meconium account names tell the story.

      > deep seated hatred of the other Kindof sad when you put it like this actually. I assumed it was a bot but I guess there's an HN captcha to prevent that? Well anyway I hope they're able to find some inner peace.

  Why do you care to repeat dead comments? Especially when the correction is bogus, 'learnings' is proper English.

    It's not. And I'm not even a native speaker :) Still that spam was totally over the top.

      Who decides what's proper English? Non-native speakers? This is a word I've heard almost every day at multiple companies, definitely seems to be on its way to proper English if it isn't already.

        The completely serious answer is there are multiple approaches. The young American nation fell in lockstep with the Webster approach of a prescriptive dictionary whereby a self appointed gatekeeper decided for others what was and was not correct English. They further pursued this path by embracing the doctrines of Strunk & White in The Elements of Style. Meanwhile, back in the cradle of the English hodgepodge the multi-volume wall lining known as The Oxford English Dictionary took a descriptive path that described English as she is wrote. "Proper English" is a car crash caused by a train wreck of Romance and other languages uttered by survivors wandering about a global incident site. "We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language." ~ Some guy with a green carnation.
