Though some in this thread seem to not be aware of this, humor is spelled without the letter "u" in American English. I would be careful before I correct someone next time if I were you

With regards to the issue of F access for Emeralds, I think it is a legitimate way that OW differentiates itself from *A and ST. Some *A carriers allow their own top tier elites into F lounges (LH, LX, OZ, SA, SQ) so it's not a foreign idea in *A. If you frequently fly across your alliance, then the benefits of top-tier status are greater on OW than on *A, as a UA 1K gets no more recognition on any other *A carrier than a UA 1P. There isn't any differentiation in *A between medium and top-tier status.
