The periodic change in recommended broadcast format is a prime example of the nonsense we put up with. I include all the required info in calls but I've been using 'Traffic XXX, .... XXX" for years and don't propose to change. Over the past 30 years, I've been in fashion, out of fashion, .... One reason I prefer my adopted format is that some comms systems clip the start of the transmission and having 'traffic' as the first word gets the listener a double shot at hearing clearly the location referenced.

Things do need to change from time to time and I don't have an issue with that when a change in message content is needed. But the endless fanging around with trivia....Geez.
