ICAO English

Oh, you can criticize the Italians.
Do not forget to Greeks, and the Spaniards, or the French.

I lived many years in USA... where I acquired a Hollywood/California accent.
Sorry about my English. Sorry I spell "tires" and not "tyres"...
I personally complain about UK ATC with the Limey's and Yorkshire accents.
You speak one kind if English, I speak another. I (generally) understand.
For me, proper English can be heard i.e. on the BBC...
Not on the streets of Manchester.

Who speaks correct ATC/ICAO English...?
The Dutch, the Germans, the Scandinavians... better than UK or New York.
Never had problem with Italians...
Nor with Indians and Pakistanis, if they slow down their motor-mouth.
And I know that in Tokyo, "turn light" really means "turn right"...

Happy contrails
