tio540,
Ha Ha!!
But I, for one, have always been quite happy to stick with ICAO standard phraseology, it works just fine.
After all, amongst the reasons why ICAO standard phraseology was adopted almost 20 years ago (or was it longer), was a couple of really serious near misses due to non-standard Australian usage confusing crews from the rest of the world, who were not familiar with the strange mutations of the Aviation Galapagos that is Australia.
That standards of radio communications usage have most certainly slipped is not the fault of ICAO standard phraseology, but just another manifestation of how flying standards, including ab nitio training, have slipped in Australia.
Tootle pip!!
