Makespeed250,

Baffler15,

Lazy? Yes!

No offence intended here, but as an ATC, if there is one thing that really pisses me off it is pilots who readback 'NINE' instead of 'NINER' when assigned descent.

It's amazing how much it can sound like a 'FIVE'.
I did say that I only rarely say NIN-ER, not never (that was FIFE)! Hopefully, if I'm ever yapping to you on an ATC freq, you might just get lucky!

P.S. If you say NIN-ER first though, I'll read NIN-ER back!
