I've heard FISOs using atrocious R/T procedures - using pilots names instead of a/c callsigns, clipping transmissions, not using callsigns (e.g. A/c "XXX downwind", FISO "...port final"). At airfields where student pilots are operating, R/T phraseology and procedures should be "by the book".
HD, I know what you mean and could not agree more!
Also the willy waving which those with TCAS indulge in jamming up the airwaves at an airfield with A/G - I feel like squawking standby and bouncing them to make the point that non transponder a/c won't show on TCAS!
