FAO Giles: 3WE is with you...or not?

In another post Giles bolded the words with you when I was writing a joke frequency check in.
So, has that become "naughty" phraseology and is frowned upon.
The whole ATC phraseology buisiness is interesting....Certainly there's needs for some words to be strict and sacred.
Then again, why is "plain English" verboten.
Ground Cessna 5071h with oscar taxi takeoff. Ok fine, it's not much of a complete sentence, but when you do check in on the freq what else can you say. Maybe it's "Center" aeroflot 999, FL340....but why in the heck do you say flight level.....that takes up just as much precious air time as a "plain English" "with you", and the controller already knows the altitude, I'd assume from a handoff AND the encoding transponser!
Any comments for our moderator, or other forumites on this. Cessna 3423X, is with you, 9000....sounds good to me?
