Are your serious or just being sarcastic? I cant tell, haha.
Iv had this happen o my students too, apparently cherokee isnt good enough even though "cherokee" encompasses all very very similar aircraft in terms of speed. They need to hear PA28 or whatever.

News to me, Cherokee has been a standard type forever. I was assuming it was because they didn't have time for him in a slow plane.

The controller was trying to get him to say the type. ie. pa28 140 pa 28 180 and the student didn't know the terminology yet.
