What's the difference between a hectopascal and a millibar?
Precisely my point!

None whatsoever, except one is harder to say and doesn't tell you what it is. Everyone can figure that a Mb is a thousandth of an atmosphere. Why change something that is self evident for something that is not. All it can do is add confusion, as it has done here. Completely idiotic.

ps. does "taxi onto position runway 1" mean "taxi into position runway (unreadable zero) 1" or Taxi into position runway 1 (unreadable zero)". No one can ever know...
