What's wrong with just reading the frequency? Any idiot can tell you are meant to contact someone, it's the freq you need to be certain of.
The 3rd world pilots are equally deserving, let's not forget that. You can hear entire conversations in the 3rd world where a callsign is never mentioned at all, especially by Indian controllers.
Just ignore them when they don't use the callsign and answer when they do, it will slowly teach them. Painful, I know, but it seems to be the only way these twits will get it through their fat heads.

Yeah, funny, especially when the yanks invented the powered airplane (just before anyone else designed the same thing) even if it did only JUST get off the ground... and now they are bastardising RT in the industry that evolved from it.
"too five OH..." Love it!!!
"Ah roger, okay understand too wun oh is cleared to too five oh for runway one."
Runway ONE?????
