At the risk of being rude this lesser being from the colonies has a suggestion. If the amount of effort Brit pilots put into discussing radio pedantry was put into say, learning how to properly use the carb heat and mixture controls, I bet there would be fewer accidents
My all time favorite radio dit was a conversation I heard on Seattle terminal one busy Friday afternoon.
ATC 12 Alpha Bravo cleared direct XXXXX, descend Fifty Five Hundred, gimme your best speed, contact Seattle Approach on 123.45 with your heading. (this was delivered all in one breath and very fast)
12AB (in a very deep Southern accent and slowly) Saaay Aaahgin
ATC : 12 Alpha Bravo cleared direct XXXXX, descend Fifty Five Hundred, gimme your best speed, contact Seattle Approach on 123.45 with your heading. (Again all in one breath and speaking very fast)
12AB: Saaaay Aaahgin
ATC: ( in a very exasperated tone) 12AB, what is your problem, you need to get with the program.
12AB: ( slowly and at a very deliberate pace) Sor.... Ahhhh liisssten the saaame way ahhhh talk
