What are your thoughts on using plain english, such as what LAPD uses compared ten codes, etc?

Plain english ain't so plain. Just like common sense ain't so common. The problem is you get some people that just don't know when to stop and ramble on and on. At least with codes, they shut up when they don't know something.

Plain english really is catching on though, except for the really major ones 21, 87 etc..

I've also never been clowned for using military phonetics, most might kinda chuckle, but no one has ever corrected me. It's not my fault the department is *** backwards sometimes (wanting to be paramilitary, but goofy phonetics and not wanting to look intimidating anyone?)
