No kars for kids here. Maybe a west-coast thing.

Let me weigh in.
I don't use "please copy" and I even have one of K9YC's "no 'please copy'
buttons" but worrying about others using the expression is way down my list.
The top of my list is the execrable "1-877 Kars for Kids" followed by people
who don't know the distinctions among "they're", "there", and "their" or
between "too" and "to".
If you loathe "Kars for Kids as much as I do, you might enjoy this article:

So, 73 & Gud DX,
Alan, K6SRZ

What exactly, Jim, is “the problem” that needs a solution?
About the only phone contest that I enter is SS, which has as its’ roots a test
for traffic handlers. “Please Copy” comes from there and I must admit to
sometimes using the phrase. I may make a point to do so more often. What QRG
do you commonly occupy in SS?

Most of these lids aren't new, and imitating what they hear on the air.
I DO correct them, tell them I'm not working them, and don't log them.
If we're not part of the solution, we're part of the problem.
