Roger! Roger That!
Hi, there.
I just wanted to confirm this. My feeling toward "Roger that!" and "Roger on that!" for affirming something is that they can be interchangeably used. Yes, they can, or no they cannot?

Yeeeessss....tentatively.
However, it is not something that we normally say. As Marius points out, it is imitating radio speech, and is not something that we actually say in other contexts unless we are doing it for comical effect.

Just gotten up, and noticed that I put up what didn't intend to put up for the subject title. It should have been "Roger That! Roger on That!" instead of "Roger! Roger That!"
Aaaanyhow ... Thanks, all, for your inputs. I'm a radio old-timer, having been in the world for the last thirty-some years since I was in the fifth grade, and I have been using the expressions without giving them too
