The Emirates Call Sign

Just a mini vent here...

The EK call sign is "Emirates", not "Emirat" and not "Emirati". I hear controllers using the wrong one and a lot of our pilots, too. I know what it is, it's kind of implying ownership, national pride or whatever and that's fine I guess, but the second two are not the airline's call sign.

Doesn't REALLY bug me (and I'm used to it by now) but it still bugs me a little just the same.

Anybody else feel the same or care to comment?

Just curious...
