Default Useless radio phraes

Please stop telling controllers you are "with you". They know that by the mere fact you are talking to them. It is a dumb redundant phrase as is "checking in with you". Sounds like a student pilot when you use those phrases. Call sign and altitude is all you need. When you request something, use the word "request" and not "any chance". Additionaly there is no need to add "traffic permitting" or "if possible" to your request although I guess it is nice to remind the controllers of their job. Oh, and after getting a clearance, you don't have to add "here we go" at the end of your readback. All these extra phrases waste radio time. Thanks.
