I always taught my students that Roger was what you said when you were supposed to respond but didn't really know what to say
that's what my chinese students sometimes do
"uhhh uhhh uhhhhh.....roger"

I love it when my students readback clearances for other aircraft.
I'm just like "NOOOOOOO"
Nah, different guy. First person I've ever seen chew tobacco in a $300,000 airplane.
While we're complaining about radio technique... ANYBODY who doesn't listen before they key the mic. There was a guy yesterday that, without fail, would hit the transmit button to make a radio call at the exact same time someone else was talking. He may have been a student pilot.... so in that case, it's his CFIs fault. I can see it every now and then if you just happen to key the mic right at the same time someone else does, but this guy was doing it right in the middle of the other guys radio calls. And while we're still at it, overly long conversations on unicom between small shiny jet crew and the FBO about passenger stuff. I'd like to be able to tell everyone where I am so I don't hit one of the 20 student pilots flying around the pattern, not how the boss doesn't want pickles with his catering order.
