Director,
We both posted simultaneously. My gripe is not so much with sparing use of non-standard phraseology, but failure to use standard phraseology and 'best practise'.
I don't mind 'ABC001 Fly heading 130 degrees, turn right onto that heading now' (standard phraseology backed up with a little nudge for common sense), but I loathe 'ABC002 right now one three zero'. Another good example is 'XYZ003 contact London 118.82, that's eighteen eighty-two' used when an aircraft has missed the frequency first time.
