My high school daughter has caught for years and has gotten good at framing. She sells a few pitches now and then, but most umpires get it right.
For her talking with the BU is part of the game, she's an outgoing kid. However, she probably wouldn't appreciate any comment that begins with "you're not", unless it relates directly to the rules.
Sticky point for me when I'm calling is how much information, if any, to give the catcher on a ball that barely misses the zone. I'll sometimes say "close", but avoid using "low", "high", etc.
