Narrative:
While taxiing in and out of iah on a trip last thursday and friday, I noticed that iah south ramp controller referred to the south ramp south bridge and the taxiway sd bridge as the 'inner bridge' and 'outer bridge' txwys (respectively). This makes sense and is a lot cleaner to say and understand. What do you say we get the iah 10-9 chart revised to use the inner and outer bridge terminology? If that doesn't work, then the ramp controller should use the correct charted terminology. A transient crew could be confused.

Title: B737 FLT CREW RECOMMEND COMPANY RAMP CTL CHANGE TECHNIQUE REGARDING TXWY BRIDGE, PHRASEOLOGY, AND IDENT.
Narrative: WHILE TAXIING IN AND OUT OF IAH ON A TRIP LAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, I NOTICED THAT IAH S RAMP CTLR REFERRED TO THE S RAMP S BRIDGE AND THE TXWY SD BRIDGE AS THE 'INNER BRIDGE' AND 'OUTER BRIDGE' TXWYS (RESPECTIVELY). THIS MAKES SENSE AND IS A LOT CLEANER TO SAY AND UNDERSTAND. WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GET THE IAH 10-9 CHART REVISED TO USE THE INNER AND OUTER BRIDGE TERMINOLOGY? IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, THEN THE RAMP CTLR SHOULD USE THE CORRECT CHARTED TERMINOLOGY. A TRANSIENT CREW COULD BE CONFUSED.
