AWOL57,
I understand how that extra phrase might help you ... as long as you:
- were expecting it
- understood it
- were not confused by it
- got it in the same format each time
But that is not the case for all Controllers, or all pilots, or in all situations.
I must stick up for ... by the book, standardised radio telephony. It's the backbone of clear and unambiguous communication. I can't see any place for a "little bit for mum" phrases.
The eventual outcome will be that you will be expecting it. If it's not forthcoming, you could be, at least momentarily, confused.
If what's in the book doesn't work ... change it.
