of mind in a nice lady. You might enjoy checking out Roger Wilco.

Radio operator in my house, voice procedure is everyday language here. Wikipedia provides the worldwide list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_procedure

Note that Roger (which is used a lot) is not used in conjunction with Wilco (because the two actions are covered in the one word, Wilco).

In local dialect here, it's Romeo rather than Roger. Both are derivations of the letter R (representing "received"😉.

I spend a lot of time listening to shipping traffic, and there are some minor differences, one being that more "real English" and less "voice procedure English" is used.

Well, no, not really. Not yesterday either. No, not the day before as I recall. I'm sure that I did sometime not long ago.

Hmm... any possibility STG cultural norms may be leaking into our once productive lives?

This could get sticky but I'll ask anyway. This is based on what exactly?

'Leaking' possibly too tame a word?

And to think I avoided this thread for so long thinking you were just playing a silly game, when in actual fact you were all talking nonsense...

I know. At times some messed up and broke the rules and actually contributed a post with substance. We are very forgiving, however, so long as they don't repeat the mistake.
