DAL159 Heavy, four miles from FREAL, turn right heading 255, maintain 5000 till established on the localizer, cleared ILS/PRM runway 26R approach. STAND BY with your read back.
KAL039 Heavy, turn right heading 180.
DAL159 Heavy go ahead with your read back.
When issued, I anyway, DO NOT expect the pilot to read back stand by. Kinda defeats the purpose of standing by.

After 32 years I have yet to reply to a "standby". Not necessary or expected.
Now, here's another one:
You are requesting VFR advisories (no, not "Flight Following", that is no longer the term to use).
ATC comes back with "Skyhawk 12345 squawk 3641".
What do you say in response?
