I hear you. This from US controller in respose to a taxi request.

Stacatto "xxxxxx eight o five delta foxtrot six eighteen seven" that was the entire transmission. Poor guy on my right had absolutely no idea what it was or meant.

With this sort of sh*t and the agressive temprament of some of the "saviours of the world" is it any wonder some of those using English as a supplementary language, have problems?

For those still scratching their heads as to the translation of that transmission.
"xxxxxx eight zero five taxi via delta and foxtrot, abeam gate six call tower one one eight decimal seven"
