I definitely wouldn't say "HHHHHHHHH," since I tossed it 10 times, not 9.
Saying "10 tosses, all heads" reduces the chance of omitting a toss in data entry, which is all to the better.

You're making the assumption the other party knows English, rather than say the abstraction of 'coinflip' which in itself can be abstracted. Do they understand the concept of fairness - is it even odds or not? There's a reason that numbers are considered a more universal 'language' than other forms of communication.
