Human Factors; Procedure
I was conducting OJT.  My Developmental instructed Aircraft X to Line Up And Wait (LUAW) but they read back 'Cleared for takeoff.'   The read back error was caught and Aircraft X was instructed to hold short of the runway.Revert back to 'Position and Hold' instead of LUAW.  The only read back error I ever had with Taxi Into Position and Hold (TIPH) was to hold short of the runway which is not a safety issue.  I've had many aircraft mistake an LUAW clearance for a takeoff clearance.
A DAB Tower Instructor reports that the Developmental issued Line Up and Wait to an aircraft. The pilot read back cleared for takeoff. The Controller then instructed the pilot to hold short of the runway.
