You don't agree with Oblas point?
Listen to ATC in America. The majority of R/T is anything but 'professional' and compliant with the AIM, most is non-standard and by a long, long shot. Isn't that a valid point?
For the most part, no one in the simulated environment is an ATCO so for an instructor to take or make an issue out of any students ATC should be a simple matter of listening out for 'cutsey pie' lingo and correct it.
I don't think the UK CAA CAP413 is necessarily perfect, but it sure is one helluva good guide.
Just a thought.
