As an aside, but further to your examples, some time ago the UK amended the taxi phraseology to specifically exclude to word "to", hence it now should be (in UK) "taxi_holding point A2, etc".

The reasoning was that any use of the word "to" could, in the wrong circumstances, be mistaken for "two" and therefore it was omitted. However, it would have been very useful if some publicity had been generated about this and it not just snuck into an amendment page with a miniscule indication in the margin!
