That's nonsense. You must say the november. What country do you live
in? Oh, you must have forgotten that there are other countries than the
US. Don't assume everyone here lives in the US. Plenty of non-US
pilots here too.

Mr. McNicoll could have cited the AIM, 4-2-4.a.3 where it says:

Civil aircraft pilots should state the aircraft type, model or
manufacturer's name, followed by the digits/letters of the
registration number. When the aircraft manufacturer's name or model
is stated, the prefix "N" is dropped; e.g., Aztec Two Four Six Four
Alpha.

Naturally, that only applies specifically to operations where the AIM
has any force, moral or legal. Your mileage will likely vary.
