Cheers! I'm just trying to be ahead of things. Ofcourse it's unnecesary to get tangled up in a bunch of words and ways to use them. But if the pilot and ATC are able to use them, this makes for fast, efficient communication. This can sometimes be annoying when approaching the airport, not getting your information through because of other pilots inefficiency over the radio.
I'm not afraid to speak normally to ATC. I remember once when I'd made a mistake with my flighplan, and it'd closed before T/O.
ATC could hear my voice was nervous (I was lost at the time and on the wrong altitude...) and took the initiative to speek freely. In those situations it's a given to not make things more complicated than they are. But for normal RT procedures, efficiency I feel is quite necessary with todays amount of traffic.
