FK, you are 1/2 correct: NEGATIVE is a valid procedural word and can be used. To finally put this discussion to rest, I shall refer you to
Industry Canada's RIC-22, "General Radiotelephone Operating Procedures". See Appendix A, "Procedural Words and Phrases" if you don't believe me.
Apart from anything special or specific for military requirements, this is
the definitive reference for proper, CANADIAN
civillian radio operating procedures. Anything else you may hear has been morphed by operational practices (or shortcuts) over time and isn't "technically" correct.
