    Oops! Less impolite, more polite. I'll go fix my typo. So sorry!
    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    If I utter air hostess in the US will they understand?

    Thank you, Barb_D, I've found your side note very instructive.
    People still say it, though Barb_D's point about flight attendant applies there too.
