The worst practice is not to adhere to the communication standards.


Seems to me the worst practice is to fail to communicate clearly when it's
possible to do so.

This can be because you're using nonstandard phrasing (done this) or
because you insist on using standard phrasing when it's not working (never
done this, I think). Ultimately the goal is to communicate, and the
standards are just a means to that end; if they're giving you trouble, say
whanever you need to say however you need to say it to get the point
across.
