    $\begingroup$ Whatever happened exactly, it sounds like it's worth filing an ASRS report right away $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ After switching to ground did you contact them before taxi? "Switch ground" doesn't sound the same as "monitor ground". I agree with @Pondlife, file an ASRS now. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I think the use of incorrect phraseology by ATC added to this, as is so common, and, if they have spaced traffic behind so close that you turning off at the wrong exit caused a problem, that's ATCs problem again, not yours. What if you had had to stop on the runway? You're the PIC, the safety of the aircraft is yours. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ About your last edit on calling the FAA or not, I would say definitely not. If they are invesigating they'll contact you, and if they aren't then there is zero benefit (to you) in stirring things up. I would still file the ASRS, though. And see this question $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Andykraven, sorry I see that this is an old one, but I have to ask: You mention you were given a phone number and asked to call tower. Did you call later? What did they say?! They could either chew you out, or apologize for not catching and correcting your readback. I am very curious how that conversation went, and surprised nobody else commented or asked about this... $\endgroup$
