Tower unless you want the A/C down at B8/9 after landing on 07L, please stop using the term "exit Alpha eastbound" when A/C exit at A7 & A8, I have seen several A/C miss taxiway 'W' from A7 and A8-B7 from A8 as the time it takes to get the call to transfer to gound and then call on a busy ground frequency means A/C inevitably continue along alpha eastbound as instructed.

It would be better to say expect V or W or A8/B7 so A/C know they should slow to a crawl until able to get further instructions.

The first call from ground is usually "you missed the taxiway" which is false as they did as previously instructed until notified otherwise.
