I totally agree with unusual and long requests. Considering nearly everyone who takes an RT written exam gets 100% at ATPL level it still amazes me at the lack of correct phraseology once on the line. Don't jump on the the band wagon when you hear a phrase like "request" or "confirm". It's not correct and if you decide to use it, as some posts have said, use it when it's an unusual request.
forgot to add "with you". Please!
