Getting the RT Wrong

I am known as being quite rude at times on the freq when dealing with pilots and do realise that it is wrong but usually the temper beats common sense to my mouth.

I did my ATC training at a busy field with lots of flight training mixed in with IF arrivals and deps etc and I also had to stumble over the words. We joke know when ever I fly or am in the TWR when we hear the student echo the instructors (EWX umm uh <left downwind> Oh left downwinf RWY __) but the same happened to me wilst I was being taught.

When we hear some one strugling we may curse when not transmitting but generally we slow the RT patter and give 1 instuctiona t a time. I t is in general better to do it this way cause if you don't and the pilot gets it all wrong how you conna fix that now.

The thankyou's are always appreciated and I agee that if I have asked a pilot to fly his aircraft in such a way that is not usual I will also thank them four thier help works both ways
