Anthony, can you cite a source that supports your answer? Of course not, you
never do, and your responses really don't matter since you don't fly and
never have.
According to this passage:
When reporting other aircraft to ATC, the following terminology
shall be utilized: "Traffic in sight" or "negative contact." "Tally
ho" and other such phrases not found in the pilot/controller
glossary shall not be utilized. "Roger" shall only be utilized to
indicate reception of a transmission, not an "affirmative" or
"negative" response. "Wilco" shall be utilized to indicate reception
and compliance.
cited from http://www.tpub.com/content/aviation.../P-5100014.htm
the military apparently does use the term.

Or how about this? http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraff...pubs/PCG/N.HTM
states:
NEGATIVE CONTACT- Used by pilots to inform ATC that:

a. Previously issued traffic is not in sight. It may be followed by
the pilot's request for the controller to provide assistance in
avoiding the traffic.

b. They were unable to contact ATC on a particular frequency.
so anthony did not give erroneous information even though he did not
cite sources.

You know nothing about traffic displays or how they work, and have certainly
never seen or used one. You have never seen converging traffic from an
aircraft except in your imagination or in MSFS, and neither of these means
anything to those of us who actually fly.
