That's a big part of the story of aviation; the way things are communicated has changed because of brain farts, the way things are lined up, etc. See 5-2-5 for an example: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/aim_html... NOTE- Previous reviews of air traffic events, involving LUAW instructions, revealed that a significant number of pilots read back LUAW instructions correctly and departed without a takeoff clearance. LUAW instructions are not to be confused with a departure clearance; the outcome could be catastrophic, especially during intersecting runway operations. The older term was "hold short runway X" and that was too close to "hold runway X" - the first meant do NOT enter the runway, the second meant enter and line up but do NOT takeoff. | ||

The old version of “line up and wait” was “taxi into position and hold”. “Hold short of runway” is still in use but means something different. | ||
