BE40 MISINTERPS CVG 'INTO POS AND HOLD' AS TKOF CLRNC.

Narrative

I WAS TAXIING TO RWY 27 AT CVG FOR TKOF. UPON REACHING THE END OF THE RWY; WE TUNED IN THE TWR FREQ. VERY SHORTLY AFTER; TWR CALLED US AND APPARENTLY SAID 'TAXI INTO POS AND HOLD; TFC HOLDING IN POS ON RWY 18R.' RWY 18R IS THE ONLY XING RWY FOR RWY 27. AT THIS POINT; BOTH MY COPLT AND I INTERPED THE LAST PART OF THE TWR'S XMISSION TO MEAN THE OTHER HOLDING TFC WAS HOLDING FOR US AND THAT WE SHOULD START OUR TKOF ASAP. WE MADE A NORMAL TKOF AND CLBED OUT. THE FIRST INDICATION OF A PROB WAS WHEN WE WERE TOLD TO CONTACT DEP; AT WHICH TIME WE WERE ASKED TO CALL TWR ON THE PHONE WHEN WE LANDED. WHEN WE CALLED ON THE PHONE; WE WERE TOLD THAT TWR HAD INDEED WANTED US TO HOLD IN POS AND THAT THERE WAS AN AIRPLANE LNDG ON RWY 18R; MAYBE NOT HOLDING IN POS ON RWY 18R AS THE FIRST RADIO CALL FROM TWR MIGHT HAVE INDICATED. APPARENTLY; NO OTHER ACFT NEEDED TO MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS DUE TO OUR TKOF. MY COPLT AND MYSELF BOTH FEEL THAT THE FIRST CALL MADE BY THE TWR CTLR WAS MISLEADING. I WISH I; LIKE I HAD DONE MANY TIMES BEFORE; CALLED FOR A CLARIFICATION OF OUR CLRNC AND NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I'M NOT PLACING BLAME ON THE TWR CTLR; ONLY SUGGEST MAY BE A DIFFERENT CHOICE OF WORDS WOULD HAVE PREVENTED ANY CONFUSION. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 529425: THE CAPT DID ACKNOWLEDGE CLR FOR TKOF PRIOR TKOF. BOTH PLTS WERE IN AGREEMENT THAT WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF.
