It surprises me how many get used by so many pilots, but sometimes even by ATC.
For example “at this time” is always redundant. This is an interesting one because it seems obviously American, yet almost no European private pilots have ever flown in the US.
POB is my bugbear

All „to“ and „for“. Just erase ‘em.

Well….
Not quite. The standard phraseology is Descend to altitude 4,000ft. Anything else is wrong.
I know, in theory. It doesn’t work that way practically though. Empirical proof: Nobody (except for UK?) ever says it.
I am surprised “to” is correct because it sounds like “two”. I would think “descend two thousand feet” would be correct.
