A couple of years ago the phrase "taxi into position and hold" was shortened
to "position and hold". I've noticed it's caused a bit of confusion even
among experienced pilots. It seems it's being interpreted as "hold your
position".


Which can become very dangerous if the confusion happens the other way
round. For this reason the ICAO phraseology is "line up".
