Dear Noha
Please accept my public apologies. I was refering to your short message posted 21 April 2001 16:55, and obviously jumped into (wrong) conclusions and made a fool of myself. The reason was probably the current discusion about the mentioned 777 Delta Crew in another forum.
Back to the point I agree that the important thing is to get the message through, but in view of the poor English of many (incluiding me, of course) I think sticking to the rules helps, because you don't have to learn let's say the whole language, but be proficient in r/t procedures and phraseology.
Fly safely

Roughly on the same thread,
I was flying over Saudi Arabia the other week and picked up a strong beacon on 121.5, called it in to our current VHF controller, who was not in the slightest interested, I had to mention it twice just to get a response, then straight into his next transmission, not interested.
