You're right. But look at it the other way. There are an awful lot of people out there that never get it right.
The plethora of readbacks that miss the required because they're so full of crap that's not required.
- Why read back "copied no IFR traffic" for fcuks sake!!!!!
- Why ask for a code on departure? It's not required until they give it to you.
- "If available"??????
- "ABC on climb to FL180 pending clearance to FLxxx".
- "DEF left FLyyy". Left it for what? On descent, climb? Where to?
