From the AIM:
e. When a radio frequency contains a decimal point, the decimal point is spoken as “POINT.”
EXAMPLE-
122.1. . . . . . . .one two two point one
NOTE-
ICAO procedures require the decimal point be spoken as “DECIMAL.” The FAA will honor such usage by military aircraft and all other aircraft required to use ICAO procedures.
So both of you are correct, but really, it's splitting hairs. Condescending much, Dera?

Probably more accurate to say radio work across the US is abysmal. It’s very good just about everywhere else and unfortunately many of the US flyers who were improperly trained quickly identify themselves with one or two radio calls internationally. They can get by with CB style radio calls in the US, but elsewhere they embarrass themselves, their airline and create a potential hazard for the rest of us trying to do it properly and professionally.
