When pilots read back their callsign first, and then the request.
Controller: "United XXX runway one zero clear for takeoff"
Pilot: "United XXX clear for takeoff runway one zero"
Sounds like two requests from ATC and if you have two aircraft with similar callsigns, then your just asking for trouble.
This is like radio communication 101.

I fly straight in approaches more often than not, simply because it's generally easier for smaller traffic to sequence with my arrival (In a large cabin jet). Even if I flew a pattern, turning a 3 mile base, is still essentially "straight in".

What grinds my gears, is the Piper Warrior pilot that calls out a 3 mile final. Nothing else. While I am calling my 45, downwind, base, and final.
So now I am on base turning final, this genius is on a 3 mile final coming in hot, and now one of us has to do something. Kills me.
Back on topic though. Do I put my callsign first sometimes? Yes, when I am rushed and it makes sense. do I do it all the time. No.
