•The use of the word “take off” should only be used to acknowledge a clearance to do so. This will come following the announcement that you are “ready for departure”. Phrases such as “ready to line up and take off” should not be used.
This is one of the most common RT errors I hear every day... , people declaring "ready for take off" are asking for problems for all of us flying around...
Also I hear a lot of acknowledges that are only "similar" to the ATC clearances, again asking for troubles, is it so difficult just to acknowledge just in the "exact" way?
I've been taught to say"Mayday,mayday,mayday, XXX declaring emergency... etc. etc." this will cover the entire world, no?
