This thread is a real eye opener.
I always hear controllers on the air and they seem very pleasant, and even seem to be having a good time with the occasional back and forth banter. Now I am wondering if they are all constantly secretly annoyed with my R/T, and the moment the mike is un-keyed they roll their eyes with their co-workers.
Almost seems that at some point, once we are all at 100% standard phraseology that too much voice inflection will be discouraged, and we will be listening to a monotone voice reading a clearance.
Honestly not trying to be a troll, just the amount of annoyance shown here by controllers really has been eye opening.
(If it makes a difference I am a PPL, but I do almost always fly IFR so I can play along in the SoCal system)
