🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard marine radiotelephone phraseology used internationally • The purpose of procedure words (prowords) in radio communication • Why non-standard language (like slang or jokes) can create confusion or lengthen messages

💭 Think About

• Which option refers to standardized words or short phrases that replace longer sentences in radio communication? • Which choices might actually make your message less clear or even prohibited under radio regulations? • On a busy distress or working channel, what kind of language is preferred: casual conversation or brief, internationally understood terms?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is associated with standardized radio communication (often called "prowords" in marine and aviation radio use). • Eliminate any choices that would violate or conflict with formal radio procedures or might be misunderstood by non-native speakers. • Confirm that the remaining choice is designed specifically to shorten transmissions while preserving exact meaning.
