Hectopascals

I've just noticed the word hectopascals being added to radio transmissions recently. Previously the controller would just say QHN 1011 and we all knew what he/she meant. This was all much tidier and led to shorter radio transmissions.

Is there a reason for this change, can we go back to the old way of not defining the units for pressure? Or using the word millibar which was less lumpy to say.
