Just answer the effin question. If he wants you at a certain speed he'll assign it to you.
Whew. I'm done ranting. Where's the Valium
Who cares. We invented flying. We can talk how we want.

Usually that phrase is added to indicate in a subtle way to the controller that you are not "married" to that speed and are willing to go faster/slower as needed (vice an operational restriction).
But you knew that right and were just having a bad day!
Over and out. Roger. No longer "with ya"!!
Come on guys. You're on guard!
I intentionally use the "with you" phrase ever since I found out how many people get all bent out of shape whenever they hear it.

Because there are some terribly anal pilots out there who can't stand non-standard phraseology...
Not that it's in my typical verbiage either, but really... who gives a flying f***? People like that are miserable to fly with. Kind of like the guy who comes on board and says during his intro briefing "I'm pretty standard", which means you'd better watch him or her like a hawk... That's a long 4-day.
