I totally agree.....
"American in USA" ... (not to mention "English, or what passes for it in the UK").
One problem is that "native speakers" think they're automatically speaking intelligeable English....
As to using the local languages on small secondary airports, or little GA 'airfields', yes, I can't really have an issue with that.
But using it in the busy TMA of an international airport, to me, is criminal.
