Quoting Chamonix (Reply 2): Is it conventional practice for pilots to drop the digit "one" when repeating the frequency to the air controller?
Yes it is often done as there are no 2xx MHz frequencies used in aviation. 119.2 might become "nineteen point two" Also as ground control is typically 121.x you will often hear/say "Hold short of taxiway Alpha, ground point 9" and it is understood that ground is 121.9

Quoting P3Orion (Reply 4): What about military UHF freqs? Every ATC facility has them as well.
Well, they would be using UHF on initial contact, so wouldn't be passed off to another center as "nineteen two". I've never heard (or actually used), an abbreviated frequency for UHF.

I'd rather be on the ground wishing I was in the air, than in the air wishing I was on the ground!
While this is following 7110.65, I know I have heard a lot of frequency abbreviations from both pilots and controllers. Maybe it's because I fly in the NYC metro area and NY controllers have a tendency to go off 7110.65 semi-frequently?

The ground control abbreviation is in 7110.65. No others are though:
"... except the following may be omitted:
The numbers preceding the decimal point if the ground control frequency is in the 121 MHz bandwidth. "
