Clearances MUST be read back.

Nonsense. The only requirement for a readback is runway hold-short
and crossing instructions (technically even then it's not on the pilot
to give the readback, but ATC in soliciting one).

When you contact ATC in Charlie airspace,
you do not have to read back your "permission to enter" Charlie airspace.

You

Typical transmission would be:

ME Jackson Approach (JAN) Sundowner 1234L out of Madison, climbing through
500, headed to Covington LA. (Note the three W's).

JAN Sundowner 1234L, squawk 0103, altimeter 29.89.

ME 34L squawk 0103, altimeter 29.89.

Note, at this point, I have been given PERMISSION to enter Charlie
airspace.

Nope, you had permission after the first exchange (where called you back
with your identifier)..

I did not have to read back the "permission" where as Class Bravo, I must
not only hear the magic words cleared into Bravo, I MUST read back that
clearance.

You're not required to readback in either case.


You will NEVER hear the words, cleared into Charlie.

True.
