In order to preclude misunderstandings in radio communications, ATC will not use the word "cleared" in conjunction with authorization for aircraft to taxi.

If I received a cleareance to just "Taxi 27L" I would be asking for clarification. |
What I was referring to is with the read back after being given a taxi clearance. I prefer to read back "Taxiing runway 27." If I get one of those infamous 'cross all runways en route' clearances and there is any chance for confusion or more than one direct route I prefer to read back, "Taxiing runway 27 via K, B, F." (my intended taxi route) Just a bit of CYA.
Has anybody else experienced the new clearance "chunking" as they call it? Instead of giving a whole route at one time they give it to you in small segments so the read backs are easier. I like it except I don't like to be chunked at.
