I always thought that the point of Standard Phraseology should be that it is both clear and standard. Yet over and over again we see national aviation authorities coming up with a different standard phraseology from standard, often with the obvious effect of making things less clear. Anyone remember when Nav Canada decided to implement "Descend Via Star" but decided that it should mean the opposite of the standard used in the rest of the world?

I do wish UK atc would stick to standard rather than inventing their own different standard. I had a Captain refuse to go around at LGW when instructed because he mistook "I say again go around" for "in case of go around".
