ATC: Turn right heading 270 for traffic
ME : Turning right 270 (90 degrees to my desired course)
After 10 miles:
ME : Cancel flight following. Turning back on course.
ATC : Uhh ok.
Much easier to give you "service" and get you out of the way rather than vector half a dozen (or more) heavies out of "your way". It amazes me that people assume there is no reason; oh yes that's right we always do it for controller amusement.
Use of "Say again", when "correction" is better:
ME: "Descend to seven thousand feet QNH 1013"
PILOT: "Descend to five {pause},
I say again, seven thousand QNH 1013"
