Even years ago, aviation radio started to sound like, C B RADIO LINGO!

Slow down, do it CORRECTLY, read the AIM and do it like it says and BE SURE
I've sure made the CB observation as well. It goes over even worse internationally when we Americans try to sound 'cool'.

From a 2011 post here on a similar clearance miscue thread, about a radio exchange I heard in Singapore:

...some of my fellow Americans are still very casual with the readbacks, the CB radio craze ended in the '70's but you'd never know it listening to the transmissions.

'Delta 280, line up and wait runway 02 left'

'Uh, 280 clear to go'

'Negative Delta 280, I say again, line up and wait runway 02 left!'

'OK, 280 on the hold'
