Bless them they're keeping "recreational aviation" alive, but don't you just hate excessively "aviationised" talk when you're just trying to sort out something simple!!!
"XYZ confirm you are south of the field"
"This is XYZ, affirmative, yes, that is correct we are uhh two nautical miles south of the field, 500 feet, heading east, tracking for over water, uhh, over"
A simple yes would have sufficed....
This from a guy who elected to wait for a learjet to get on the ground after he heard his inbound call at 20 miles...
AAAARGH!!!!
