When you look at the numbers of accidents and incidents related to ATC globally in the world the facts just don't support planes falling from the skies on any of the continents.
If you want to make a case about ATC then English proficiency is probably far more a barrier to safety then deviating from some ICAO specified verbiage.
OP next time you are in the US drop me a PM and be happy to buy you a drink and give you a hug.
