Any traffic please advise

The inane practice of using the phrase “any traffic please advise” has
become so wide spread that the FAA has finally included a “do not do this”
in the latest version of the AIM.

That's great, but the ones clueless enough to say it are that way because of
chronic inability to ever FIND a clue. They are unlikely to go looking for
one in the AIM. Maybe it will settle some hangar flying arguments.

Many people parrot what they hear without a thought about its usefulness or
suitability, "with you," "checking in," "looking," etc, for example. Once
stuff like this gets loose in the pilot community, it's harder to get rid of
than cockroaches.
