Runner, with all due respect, you might be flying into JFK on a daily basis , so it's familiar. Take a step back and put yourself in the shoes of people that flies into JFK twice a year. Most places stick to standard phraseology, so everyone is on the same page. I refer Germany as my favorite, English is their second language, but you never has to ask twice to what they want you to do and if you do, they are so nice and helpful instead of being shouted at.
