ICAO Phraseology Reference guide :
RTF Cancelling Take-off Clearance Aircraft has not commenced take-off roll:
Big Jet 345 hold position, Cancel take-off, I say again cancel take-off due to ...(vehicle on the runway)
answer: Holding, Big Jet 345
Aircraft has commenced take-off roll:
Big Jet 345 stop immediately, (Big Jet 345 stop immediately)!
answer : Stopping, Big Jet 345
That is what the rest of the world pilots and controllers learn, . Not saying ATC phraseology used in the US (or in the UK is wrong) , it will work , as shown here however the 2 parties were US trained ,
But there is a major difference between "hold position cancel take off " , and "Stop immediately" depending if the aircrfat has started his take off roll or not. .
