<P>Guys(and I mean that to include gals too)</P>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are using Knots, MPH, Kmph, or whatever =
to fly your airplane that is fine, but if you are in the ATC system, we use=
 Knots, and if you are assigned a speed, it is in Knots, and you are expect=
ed to fly that speed.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is not a ground speed, but indicated=
 speed.&nbsp; You might be assigned a speed of 150Kts, and an airplane righ=
t behind you assigned 150Kts.&nbsp; If you are using mph, you are not compa=
table.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </P>
<P>As for the ATC slang at LAX; reporting this to the FSDO will do nothing.=
&nbsp;&nbsp; You must call the ATC facility, and ask to talk to the QA depa=
rtment.&nbsp;&nbsp; You will need time, date, and where you were.&nbsp;&nbs=
p; That will get taken care of very quickly.&nbsp;&nbsp; That kind of slang=
 is unacceptable for all of us as pilots, and all of us as air traffic cont=
rollers.&nbsp;&nbsp; On a side note, the other day I was talking to a forei=
gn pilot and I asked him his heading.&nbsp;&nbsp; He said W.&nbsp;&nbsp; I =
said say again, and he said Whiskey........oh yea, if you look at the headi=
ng indicator, that's exactly what it says...... W.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&=
nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OK, while we are talking ATC,&nbsp;&nbsp; last summer whe=
n the planets were close, a pilot asked me if that was Venus that was so br=
ight........I just said, no sir I believe that's Uranus.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&=
