No need to get nasty! I wasn't criticising anybody, just trying to find out where the term comes from. You're of an older generation than me, so was it on the syllabus when you learned to fly?
I wasn't trying to be nasty. This question has been brought up often. Incidentally I use the singular Final myself only because I was taught that plural is bad form.
I also use "Over" occasionally, can't help that, ex mil thing.
I am surprised that air traffic people judge pilots by whether or not they use the plural.
